Big bucks

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: This old mutt reckon the anti-vax protestors - who camped out on Parliament's lawns for the best part of a month - must have had some pretty wealthy funders.

He has come to this conclusion because when the Police Commissioner (Andy 'Cuddles' Coster) finally decided that being woke was not shifting the unruly mob and decided to get his troops to move them on with a bit of force, many of the protestors appeared to be washing (which by the look of most of them, they had not done for a week or two) their faces with milk to nullify the effects of pepper spray the police used.

This was on the very same day that the GDT hit a record US$4,757 a tonne for wholemilk powder, which means the anti-mandate lot were really crying over spilt milk and that would have cost them a pretty penny or two.
