“Why aren’t there more aborigines
working on the reserve?
She asked the Town Manager
over morning coffee.
“The mob won’t stand a full shift.
They put in four hours and
bugger off”
“Where to?” She asks
“Who knows? Walk-abouts and hunting
some say”
“ Do they work well for the four hours?”
“Good enough, but that’s not a shift is it?
Can’t run the town on four hours a day”
“What about two shifts?”
“What are you saying?
“Two four hours shifts a day,
different groups”
“Sounds like a bloody load of work”
“For who?”
