A local 19-year-old, who intends on spending the next four years arguing about whether or not the 100 or so other people that carry student union memberships should be entitled to discounted Subway sandwiches, appears to think that his obnoxious approach to insular university lawn debates is enough to make him appear interesting.

UQ student, Jeremy Wybother, who recently graduated from a nearby selective high school says he’s actually had to curb his approach a little bit – that’s if he wants to make a real go of a eight year career as a public servant, before he gets married to another Young Labor member who is willing to let him chase his dreams over hers, before inevitably nabbing pre-selection in his home seat over several other women who haven’t dedicated their life to standing behind Annastacia Palaszczuk during campaign press conferences.

“I used to have dreads in high school [haha]” says Jeremy, in reference to his more radical days.

Jeremy goes on to explain that while he can’t necessarily be seen at Australia Day marches anymore, he does still care about the rights of oppressed minorities – with his first priority being the uni students who have to pay two dollars for more than three hours parking.

“I’m more about working on policy within the party nowadays” he says.

“Now it’s all about organising”

It is believed that by ‘organising’ – Jeremy means creating memes for the QLD Labor Facebook page and helping videotape union marches, providing the local member he is volunteering for is on good terms with that union.

The fact that Jeremy is unable to name the winners of last year’s AFL and NRL Premierships, or any of the current cricketers in the Australian test side, appears lost on the future federal representative for the working people.

However, as the son of two heavily politicised public servants who both work in outdated but secure roles within wildly bureaucratic state government departments says he’s always had a fair understanding what life is like for the common worker anyway.

“We need to provide our comrades with a party that isn’t dominated by a bunch of suits who don’t know what it’s like in the real world. Like the Liberals”
