Invasion Day Mk II: A Blackfella Love Story

Charlton is a young urban Aboriginal Australian out on a blind date with young urban Aboriginal Australian Betty. But before they get to "The Sound of Music" singalong concert (at which they both hope to hijack the mixing desk with German death metal as they make political statements condemning the white British colonization of Blackfella lands), chaos descends on the country. Three different species of white-skinned alien monster have mysteriously invaded Meanjin (AKA Brisbane) and immediately start killing everyone with their snapping dog-like fangs, swinging elephant-like trunks and poisonous slug-like streams of red, white and blue vomit.

Retreating to Charlton’s man cave – His Mum's downstairs converted garage – He and Betty barricade themselves inside … And wait. To pass the time they party hearty, ripping cones and downing cocktails of dubious quality.

When a hungover Betty leaves the man cave in pursuit of the coffee machine upstairs she's attacked once more and vows: "God, I swear, get me through this alive and I’ll never miss an AA meeting again!"

Her commitment to getting clean builds as in to the man cave stumbles Gilbert, a gay urban Aboriginal Australian with a fitness addiction. But a misunderstanding sees him bop Charlton on the head with a softball bat. After smoothing matters over, Gilbert declines their offer of weed and booze, stating: "I’m over the wasted Blackfella trope, so tah but nah." Betty and Charlton agree the wasted Blackfella trope is a cliché that gets old real fast … As they further contemplate getting themselves clean, too.

Next to come knocking on the garage Rolladoor are three racist white Doomsday preppers masquerading as cops. When they attempt to abduct Betty, Charlton finally ‘mans up’ in his man cave and overpowers them, sending the preppers on their evil, racist way. And making Betty fall in love with him at last.

The three refugee Blackfellas are finally rescued and sent to a quarantine camp where Charlton and Betty do indeed get clean and sober with the help of AA and NA. Safe in Quazza, the two loved-up former addicts continue on to an epic second date and eventually … Their marriage!
