It is now a serious crime to be a man in the nascent police state of Victoria.

You can get away with it, if:

1. You are not Caucasian.

or

2. You are not heterosexual.

or

3. You are not a conservative

But if you are a white, mainstream Aussie bloke who respects tradition, these are some of the acts that can get you into serious trouble with the wowser wallopers of woke Victoria:

A. CONDUCTING A MASS. Cardinal George Pell spent 404 days in prison for this horrific crime.

B. Having a disagreement or misunderstanding with a worker in the adult entertainment industry about what services had been paid for.

C. Being present in the room when a work colleague has a disagreement with a worker in the adult entertainment industry about what services had been paid for.

D. Lobbying an ALP politician for memorial tree plantings.

E Telling staff at the front door of St Paul’s Cathedral at the QE2 memorial service that there are human rights implications to threatening an aboriginal (Warthaurong) man wanting to enter the cathedral at that time with arrest.
