4:04PM Jess McGuire | Meet
Julie Dunk, a self-described “shopping centre entertainer with strident political aspirations” who is “currently preparing her candidacy to contest the seat of Melbourne in the upcoming Federal election”.
Julie’s political list of things-to-do is a thorough capitals-happy delight, and includes -
PROMOTING MULTICULTURALISM IN AUSTRALIA: “CHINESE TAKE-AWAY HAS GIVEN A LOT TO AUSTRALIA,WE MUST NEVER FORGET THAT.” REMEMBERS JULES.
PROMOTING GREENCARE FOR PARKLANDS, FORESTRY AND APEX PARKS: “WHAT IS A BARBECUE WITHOUT THE SHADE OF A COOLABAH TREE?” JULES ASKS.
PROMOTING SAFETY ON THE ROADS: “NEVER BE ASHAMED TO WEAR A STACKHAT, KIDS.” SAYS JULES.
PROMOTING SAFE WORKPLACES: “THE WORKERS OF THIS COUNTRY WORK HARD. DO THEY NOT DESERVE OUR, HIGH VISIBILITY SUITS, SAFETY WEAR AND ENTHUSIAM?” ENTHUSES JULES.
PROMOTING COMPASSION TO THE HOMELESS: “I ONCE MET A HOMELESS MAN ON THE STREETS OF MENTONE. I DON’T THINK THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN AUSTRALIA. COME ON AUSSIES, LET’S LEND A REAL HAND.” LENDS JULES.
You can meet Julie Dunk – and view (and purchase!) a collection of photographs taken of her by very talented Melbourne “artiste” Jaqueline Donchi – tonight from 6pm, if you live in Melbourne. Want us to give you the details? Don’t mind if we do! Direct from the press release…
With political campaigner Aussie Jules Dunk (aka Carla Yamine) set to stake her claim at Parliament House, local photographer Jacqueline Donchi took inspiration, rendering eleven digital montages that delve into Jules’ flouro colored psyche (eat your heart out, Freud). You’re invited to inspect these grotesque metallic dreamscapes close up. Slurp a bevvy or two as DJ Mzz Erin Tasmania entertains, Johnny Howard cumrags are passed around like party pies by the Capital Ideas fluffer chicks and other special guests filter in (ohlala, who could they be?) Fun begins at 6pm this Thursday night, the 6th of September in the bowels of Blue Velvet bar on the corner of Gertrude and Smith Sts…Hold your breath in anticipation of the arrival of the woman herself, Aussie Jules Dunk at the opening.
You would be daft to miss it.
