Lot 496: Terrorism fridge magnet

Categories: Stray Threads

At Dad and The Wicked Step-Mother’s for dinner last night, standing around in the kitchen with the Wicked Step-Brother, the previously mentioned WS-M and Ms. Future GP, chatting about whether Australia has become safer since 9-11, etc. I mentioned something about the terrorism fridge magnets that the Oz govt issued just after 9-11, that I’d never seen one…

WS-M: Oh, lots of people sent theirs back! Lots of people returned them. I returned a few for my clients!
Me: And what about the one you got? What happened to that one?
WS-M (in a low voice): I wasnt allowed to return that one.
Dad (from his chair in the loungeroom): They’ll be worth something one day, just you wait! Those Saddam Hussein playing cards, they’re worth a lot these days on eBay!

Really - the govt did that? I have never seen one. Where can I get a photo of them. Damn our govt is scary sometimes.
