$22,500 TO PAINT A PIECE OF ASPHALT (letter to Dom Post, Oct 8)



As I skirted the rainbow crossing on Cuba St today, I was glad I’m not a Welly-dweller. 

Not that I object to ‘inclusiveness’ or ‘diversity’ per se, only the cost. $22,500 to paint a piece of asphalt when, if climate change scientists are to be believed, other parts of the city are set to sink beneath the sea? 

Thousands of ratepayers believe, archaically, that ‘male and female he created them’ and are not besotted with LGBTQ+ ideology so much as beset with the problem of petrol prices. 
And just how ‘diverse’ will Welly become? As diverse as Washington State in the US of A? 

In that hyper-inclusive State of Absurdity, you can now register on your birth certificate as any of the following: intersex, agender, amalgender, androgynous, bigender, demigender, female-to-male, gender fluid, genderqueer, male-to-female, neutrois, nonbinary, pangender, third sex, transgender, transexual, two spirit, or unspecified.
Take your pick, people!
