The streets of Geelong

from w
Walking through the city streets yesterday I noticed that many streets were almost bare of people, shops empty - but, down at Westfield it was like mobs of sheep surging forward amidst all the red and green and glitter. How appalling. The rich owners of Westfield will be laughing that Mr Rudd's cheery thousand dollar gifts to pensioners are going to swell the coffers. I did see some buskers on Malop Street though and some cheery shoppers taking time to talk with kids. But the Santa at Westfield certainly looks zonked out!
