Ignorance was walking down the street when he met Knowledge.
‘You can shove that treaty shit, mate,’ Ignorance said. ‘That’s unAustralian, mate! Bloody divisive!’
‘So, you don’t think that Australia is divided already?’ Knowledge asked.
‘NO, mate, except for you whinging YES people,’ Ignorance said.
‘Some of your NO supporters want a treaty,’ Knowledge advised.
‘Do they?’ Ignorance asked.
‘YES,’ Knowledge confirmed.
‘I didn’t know that,’ Ignorance admitted.
‘There’s a lot you don’t know,’ Knowledge revealed. ‘Does it worry you that you’re in agreement with far-right Neo-Nazis and far-left Conspiracy Theorists?’
‘Now, you’re really getting up my NOs, mate!’ Ignorance declared.
‘YES, I am,’ Knowledge quietly agreed.
