In defence of the Melbourne Cup

Posted by John, November 1st, 2016 - under Melbourne Cup.

The real enemy is not workers letting their hair down for the Melbourne Cup. The real enemy is the government locking up innocent people on Nauru and Manus Island and attempting to ban refugees from ever coming to Australia.

Raise a glass to the Melbourne Cup. Let’s work together to help create a society where every day is a holiday and a celebration, free from exploitation and alienation.
