CORAL HULL: BROKEN LAND: 5 DAYS IN BRE
Day One

IV. TOWN GOSSIP

3. Dignity

Dad & an old koori mate got to talking down the street, everything was
alright, then his friend went & ruined it, by sticking out his hand &
asking for a dollar, I told dad to give it to him, but I shouldn't have, as
dad was broke, later dad said, "'e's got as much fucken money as me,
we're both on the pension, stupid old bastard, I hate it when they do
that," although, at my instruction, dad gave him the dollar, there was an
anger in his cheeks, & the loss of respect, as for the koori mate, he
walked away with his head hanging & a silly coy look on his face, it was
a shame, & all over a dollar, I wish they didn't feel the need to bludge
all the time, & that I didn't feel the need, to rob us all of dignity, by
giving them my last money.
