Monkey says Haere Atu Bush!
We had a successful demo on Collins Street today.
Travelled sustainably by public transport and managed to recruit a few people along the way to take photos of me on my big outing.
Arrived to find a shit load of cops, including four on horseback (they obviously don’t have the flu – unlike the Sydney cop horses!). And of course a bunch of demonstrators, with speeches well under way.
There was some seriously revolutionary thoughts in those speeches and we all got quite inspired. This is me listening intently
So I did my own little speech expressing the solidarity of the sock monkey movement in condemning the earthfucking colonialist imperialist oppressor.
Then we all decided that it was time to directly interfere with the activities of APEC and take the building. This is me conspiring, shhh…
Alas we didn’t have the numbers to take the building so had to resort to embarrassing cops instead. So we treated them like tourist landmarks. Here’s me posing with one now
So not quite at the same level as the Chaser crew (mad props to them and their legendary stunt!) but I’m just warming up. Next time there will be more of us!

Viva la sock! We hope the monkey has plans to breed..?
Why of course. For those that don’t understand the highly complicated breeding rituals of the sock monkey, visit this site.
Woohoo! Got the sock monkey…and geez that cop look’s like she needs to be watered. shes kinda dehydrating…
Hey kakariki,
Saw you there, always good to see kids @ demos (and sock monkeys too). It’s good that the police horses & so many police arrived, would have felt “insecure” otherwise…
Police woman’s story:
She knew she shouldn’t do it, she’d heard that only one hit can make you an addict, but those that offered her the drug of authority told her that she’d be safe.
She dreamed of helping others; she just wanted to help; her motives were the purest and her femininity was secure.
But now all her former friends have abandoned her, and her family will not talk to her, and each day just seems longer than the last.
And now she wishes that she’d hit nobody and that she could kick the uniform, that she didn’t have to blow the Senior Sergeant for overtime.
And so, she serves her time like any prisoner, serving as an exemplar of the system that, as oppressive as it is to any protestor; try being a female cop instead!
