Look up the phrase ādiamond pureā sometime. Itās the technical term for dog shit thatās turned white in the sun. Used to be used a lot for tanning fine leather for bookbinding and gloves. Back in my grandparents day kids could earn pocket money gathering it off the street and selling it to the tanneries. Those āpureā t shirts still give me quiet giggles.

I donāt know if Iām looking too far into it, but the only 2 contexts I am aware of a bogan sounding, white aussie bloke saying or wearing anything along those lines are either anti-vaxxers (āpureā because theyāre unvaccinated), or racists (āpureā because theyāre white). He was just generally a dropkick as well, so I donāt have high hopes he didnāt genuinely rock up wearing a racist shirt
(and even if thereās another, more innocent meaning to it, wearing something like that to work seems very risky. Thatās a phrase usually used in reference to race, and I feel like you have a responsibility to not wear anything people may find offensive to work, even if that isnāt your intention.)

Ugh, sounds like a thoroughly shit person. May your paths never cross again. Sorry this happened to you.

Honestly thatād most of McPeakeās staff. They have the gov contracts for all (or almost all) government owned houses (including the housing commission flats and child protection properties), so they act with immunity. I donāt know whether theyāre stuck in a long contract, thereās some kind of kickback system happening, or what, but they do really low quality work
