The vitriol exposed in the footage represents more than the views of one drunken cowboy on holiday with the NRA
If Tuesday’s commentary on the 2019 federal election’s “politician visits strip club scandal shock-horror” has laid anything to rest, it’s that we are much more interested in the particular kind of strip club clientele Steve Dickson is than the simple fact that he is one.

We see our clients in spaces of diminished inhibitions, vulnerability and moments of very human contact. We see them quite clearly, even when they’re trying their best not to be seen. And we know that racism between the sheets can generally be presumed to equal racism in the streets.
