anti-refugee

Former Coalition Prime Minister Scott Morrison was always the apotheosis of politics’ worst tendencies: shallow form, public service for private interest and, ultimately, the scrap for survival at the expense of the grand vision, writes Binoy Kampmark.

The Reds are under the beds again!
They’ve hidden there since god knows when,
Our world is torn asunder
It’s kids’ beds they’re under
Along with Muslims and refugee men.

Labor’s dared to turn the focus
To the low-paid worker locus.
Don't they know it’s millionaires
Who need more cash and more shares,
Labor’s done it to provoke us.

It’s such an esoteric case,
Why care about the working base?
We know the best way to go
With wages now nicely low,
Don’t these workers know their place?
