Drinks with the girls is set to be nuclear tonight, as a group of friends in Betoota Heights set out for the first night in six months, where politics won’t be dominating the conversation.
Following Labor’s win last Saturday, which was called too late to set the tone of the night, roommates Georgia, Tilly and Maeve are ready to take a leaf out Doja’s book and paint the town red – especially now that they can put a pause on the doom talk.
Of course, there are lots of horrific things happening in the world right now, and Labor still won’t address many issues facing young Australians, but if there’s one thing Georgia, Tilly and Maeve can agree on, it’s that things would have sucked a whole lot more if Peter Dutton had become the next prime minister of Australia.
And for that, the girls of 189 Daroo street are pretty fucking grateful.
“We’ll have a short debrief about the Greens losing their seats, but after that, it’s game on”, says Georgia, who’s ready to get absolutely fuck eyed, “I fucking need it.”
Tilly chimes in, saying that for the past three months, her ‘areshole has been doing this’, while miming a pulsating motion with her fist.
Maeve wrinkles her nose in disgust, but agrees, stating that she too, is glad to take a small break from talking about politics.
Which will likely resume next week.
But for now, a little celebration is needed.
“LEEESSS GOOOOOO.”
More to come.
