The last couple of weeks have been fraught with back-to-back days of protestors causing a ruckus in Speakers Square, harassing every student that passes within their megaphone reach. The group hogging this public space is the ever so prevalent “freedom” anti-vaccination/anti-government/anti-lockdown parasites.

In the early days the marathon to campus included tactfully waiting for a swath to pass through the city and then walking quickly past the droves of police. Only the strongest trooper law students made it through. Those that did were rewarded with the gratification of passing through the pig trough of George St uneaten.

QUT law student, James Schofield – fully equipped with RM’s and a coffee – complains to his fellow law students of this atrocity of an experience, “Haven’t we put up with enough? Who lets these people outside?”. 

With entitlement he remarks “And every single officer was doing nothing but standing round making chat.” He revels in the satisfaction that he’s established that he could run the police department more efficiently. He won’t though. He has to follow in daddy’s footsteps to make partner.

Over the last few days the number of “freedom” protesters dropped to a single loud and uneducated pest and his faithful crusty old followers sitting in their camp chairs.

Given the decrease in numbers, law students can return with an easier hike to campus. A hike where they can continue to feel entitled by confidently giving off a sneer of ridicule as they pass by the diminishing plague of uneducated parasites.
