Satellite Boy Page #3

- Why not?

Why would I go back

to that dump anyway?

Where you go?

I got plans. I'm gonna keep going -

I'm not stupid.

What does that mean?

Your mum left,

she's not coming back.

Everyone knows it but you.

She is coming back! She promised.

- What do you know anyway?

- She doesn't care about you.

That's why she left in the first place -

she doesn't want you.

At least she's not a useless pisshead.

She got a brain,

she gonna be something.

Shut up!

Whoa.

Don't need a spear now.

- Where you get that from?

- House back there.

No-one can make me go back now.

I'm gonna be a bandit.

Is it loaded?

Course it is.

You're gonna blow your balls off.

Yeah, 'cause mine's bigger than yours.

Here.

Here, you take it.

Come on.

Come on.

Where's this Mainstay mob, anyway?

In town.

Come on, boy.

Hey, Uncle?

We looking for Mainstay Constructions.

Oh, that's the mining mob.

They're back out here

on this road out here.

Come on. Thank you, Uncle.

That's the mine office up there.

Excuse me.

- Hello!

- Yeah, no worries.

Excuse me. Aye? Excuse me, mate.

Man, what's wrong with you?

What do you want?

- Can I talk with the manager?

- No.

What are you doing here anyway?

Stay right there.

Mate, head down to the second pit.

We're nearly there.

There. Come on.

- We made it, bala.

- That's the manager office there.

Let's go.

What the bloody hell do you think

you're doing here?

- It's dangerous.

- You the manager?

As if.

Come on, you gotta go

out to the gate, boys.

You know who own the place -

the cinema screen

where me and Jubi stay?

Come on, we're working here.

Go the office there.

- Make sure you get there. Run!

- Oi, oi! Stop!

Stop!

MAN; Oi!

Stay there.

Don't do it! No!

Bra!

Bra, stop!

- What are you doing? Go.

- No.

- Run!

- Don't do it.

Kalmain!

And in the East Kimberley,

an update on an incident

at Waterford Mine

involving two young boys

from a remote community.

Mine officials have declined to comment

on how two young boys remained

undetected in a blasting area.

According to witnesses...

Mate, you gotta look for Pete.

- He comes whenever he like to.

- "with a firearm.

His mum's there.

The firearm was discharged

during the incident,

but no injuries were recorded.

The two young boys,

previously listed as 'missing',

are in police custody.

The boys claimed their home

was being bulldozed

by a mining company.

The media outcry has stopped

all work at the old cinema.

Tough little buggers.

Mum!

Hey!

He's coming with me. He just got lost.

Come on, sweetheart.

He's headed for Boys' Home.

You're right, bala.

I'll be right.

I'll come visit you anytime.

We famous, bro. We on TV.

You a hero now.
