Campaign stunts can take all kindsa mellifluous shapes and forms; be it Billy Hughes’ wet ankle contests of the late teens, Chiffley’s “construct-a-bucketbong-athon” of ’48, Menzies “deny-the-vote-to-blacks” bike race of ’61, or even the great little John Howard’s “Men with Penis Envy Rally” of ’97.
“Johnson’s Friend”, “Pink Colgate”, “Jar Jar Jam” – these are just some of the street names given to ‘Bungle’, a popular gel like designer drug that has been making the round in Perth’s nightlife scene for the past six or so weeks. Coloured pink and with a consistency similar to children’s toothpaste, Bungle is a very expensive disassociate/upper that has become the fashionable drug of choice for Perth’s young and rich.
