Boycott Tim Tams
We saw this odd street art on Kells Lane, Darlinghurst, today.
An off-kilter unicorn and a snorting android, paint peeling, with stars sparkling.
But tacked on top of the unicorn’s rump is this message.
Remembering “Lani”
Please boycott

Art by Invisible Man
Is it a reference to Lani Guinier (Clinton’s aborted nominee for Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in April 1993)? Or something else, and who is Invisible Man?
There are two similar, albeit less elaborate plaques, on Gibbons Street in the Alexandria/Redfern area.
They’re near Redfern station and are references to the gay-hate murders of Bill Allen and Richard Johnson in the late 80s in the vicinity of Alexandria Park.
They say:
William Allen 50 Unsolved 29-12-88 Invisible Man ’09
Richard N. Johnson 33 15/1/90 Invisible Man Plaque ’09
Both are written on inverted pink triangles with black lettering.
I would also be interested to know who Invisible Man is, keep me posted.
