Down Write Brilliant
BENN THE BUTCHER Benn from Blenheim, interview on Aotearoa Humanity Project I’m a butcher working for Mike Newman in Blenheim. It’s just cutting up meat, bagging up stuff and it’s insane. It’s actually pretty good. I work three days, and it’s going pretty good so
23
far, and he’s paying me on two main days. I was born on the farm, and I was a farm-boy for a few years, and now I got moved from there into town. I’ve got one main brother, and a step-brother. They’re different mates. They all do different things, and they always go out partying and things like that. When it’s a party I don’t even know about, then I get to go, too and that’s awesome. And there’s some people I don’t know. I like, going out with mates, hanging out, drinking and that. Everything’s pretty good. Nothing much in the future. I actually want to live on my own pretty soon, yeah.
