Before Perth became infested with the refuse of closed asylums, drugged out dropouts, work shy bludgers and miserable mendicants, and when the newspapers were run by humans instead of corporate hacks, there were some odd or overly energetic people who became bywords or pet characters that were well reported on in the papers. All have gone and are mostly nearly forgotten, being replaced with idle chat about footie thugs and social media slimes. But their lives still resonate among that portion of the population who have managed to resist the mass propaganda by and of droids that infests our ‘modern’ world. [SW] [BIO]
