“We’re out in the middle of – – – – – – nowhere right.
And some bearded bloke yells: "The – – – – – – boats stinkin'.
And I says: ‘Tell us something we don’t know’.
And real slow but still loud enough to sink a ship (pardon the pun officer) he says: ’T h e – – – – – – b o a t ’s ’s i n k i n'.
Someone bellows: ‘Save the children. Save the – – – – – – children’.
So I start grabbin'. They start screamin'. I start throwin'.
And that’s ‘ow they come to bein’ in the water officer. And the – – – – – – PM reckons we don' want blokes like me in our country.
It’s a – – – – – – balls up mate. Where the – – – – – – are we officer.”
Cameron Bishop has had several exhibitions in Melbourne and in Dunedin, New Zealand.
