Store owner Anthony Hiscox defended the shirt, despite a recent spate of horrific domestic violence cases around the country.
‘Obviously it’s a joke,’ Mr Hiscox told The Mandurah Mail.
Mr Hiscox said he hadn’t received any complaints about the shirt in store and would be leaving them out for sale.
‘We’re certainly not trying to glorify anything – at the end of the day it’s a t-shirt, and that’s the old nickname for Emu Export,’ he said.

The store also sells shirts that read ‘I got crabs in Mandurah’ and ‘I’m not gay but $20 is $20.’

‘What type of person would deliberately dress a mannequin in that and put it in the window? It just beggars belief that Krazy Tees would do something like this,’ she said.
She said she would not be shopping at Krazy Tees again.
