“Australia, it’s built on fuckin’ convicts, man,” she says. “Melbourne, particularly, was very violent and dark, whether it was romper-stomper-style beatings, which were quite regular, or seeing men expose themselves pretty much on a daily basis as a schoolgirl. They’re called flashers and, seriously, I saw them all the time. But I was not afraid. I would go for it: I’d be like, ‘Motherfucker, I’m gonna kill you!’ I’d chase them and throw shit at them and scream at them—all the things that they did not want to experience. It made me so fucking angry. It was such weakness to me.”
