There’s a public service advertisement doing the rounds here in Canberra at the moment. Have a look (at the PDF that this links to) and you’ll be dying to come to this centre of cool. This is just a snapshot of the modern public service.
Check out the style.
And if he couldn’t make it in the public service, there’s always a job for the guy at the lunch buffet in 70’s porn movies.
Blondie in this photo is Ian, but while he’s from Canberra, he is not me.
Have I mentioned this advertisement is from the early 70’s. So no, Canberra in 2011 has not gone super retro or anything like that. And that Ian couldn’t have been me – I was still at primary school.
What I’m curious about with these photos is whether any of the people in them will be outed, or out themselves?
OMG my sister had a pair of slacks just like those.And doesn’t the girl in the mauve sweater look suitably subserviant? Obviously Germaine Greer’s message hadn’t reached Canberra yet. LOL
