TRA - our special friends
I dont know about you lot but all this TRA lark has my fertile imagination going into overdrive and I have found myself wondering what these special people look like, are like and how they would dress.
You see, I still think there is a camp TRA man called Barry who has taken to wearing purple lycra trousers and is loud, flamboyant and feminine.
His desk is neat and tidy and there is a piccie of his persian cat 'Tarquin' on his desk.
His case notes are organised neatly, and I think he is looking after Jonahs Mummy too.
Then there is 'Brett', he is 25ish, wears a pair of cream trousers, a polo shirt, he has that typical 'Gold Coast' look with a small goatee beard to disguise his chin which somewhat resembles the bottom of a hovercraft. He is a 'cool guy' and tries to give his cases a 'fair go'.
Then you have Phil, who is a jobsworth and will check EVERY reference you send in, phone the employers up at 2am and say in every sentence 'Sorry mate, part of the job'.
Phil wears a suit, it doesnt matter how hot it is, he wears a grey suit, blue shirt and navy tie, black loafers and white socks. He will fail people for messy writing.
Phil also lives with his Mum Dora, who packs his lunch and he also has a dog called 'Spot'.
Then you have the Head TRA man himself, who is rather scary and strict. His name is 'Chad Fellows' and he was born in Perth but moved to TRA Land. He has DIMIA posters all over his wall and considers himself to be well connected with the government. Thats because he met John Howard once and never forgot it.
He wears sensible clothes and his wife 'Genelle' cooks and cleans for him and she knows how he likes things.
The new boy is 'Toby', he is 20 years old and was initiated by the others flushing his head down the toilet several times until his hair went floppy. Toby still thinks its funny to fart in public and gets told off for spending too long on skills assessments.
Now my imaginary TRA team work in an open plan office, Toby has pictures of busty beauties on the wall and Chad is so not happy about that.
Whilst Toby gulps and snorts at his own vulgarity, Phil and Chad look on disapprovingly.
Barry is the most talked about TRA man, with his high pitched voice and dramatic behaviour, people fight to have him as 'their TRA man'.
When he grants people their positive TRA, he would even visit their house carrying a purple bunch of flowers and say 'Congratulations darling'.
So come on, how do you imagine your migration agent, Case officer, TRA people to look like?
Oh yes, Alan, well Ive seen you, and I still think you are not as innocent as you look.
George, well, 4 words, Pink Furry Love Cuffs.
This is intended to be a fun post and not meant to upset anyone.

Class
Think mine was wearing shorts and thongs, and had his trusty fave surfboard propped up against his desk, was working his last two days of his notice and therefore passed everyone, and spread smiles all round.
He now lives in a cave on a beach that has great surf and his mom brings him something to eat once a day!

Re: TRA - our special friends
The one that stands out in my mind is my pretend character Barry.
When he wears tight lycra purple catsuits, he always makes sure his todger is on display.
So when Chad looks at him, he has to avert his gaze.
You can also see Barrys willy ten minutes before you can see Barry.
He is very proud of it.
Now with Alan, I have seen him and he looks SO innocent, but for some reason I dont think that cutie look is the real Alan.
In fact, I would like to go for a beer with Alan and George. They are both deserving of parts in my stories.
George in my imagination walks around with pink furry love cuffs attached to his trouser loop.
JAJ, well Im still thinking about him but I can see him with a surfboard, board shorts, Billabong T shirt and thongs. He isnt friends with Barry as Barry is to Ladyboy in confusion for him.

I want John Howard to sign the plaster on my leg.
Do you think he would?
I do have a thing for short bald men.
Especially if they are called John.
