You've moved me to verse DVM.
Aus Day poem.
Australia we love ya, we feel your heartbeat;
From way then to now there's something unique;
Bout your courage and mateship, your humble repose;
Did ya somehow invent that, or did it just grow?
So young yet so wise, people queue to come here;
They know what they're getting, land of plenty and cheer;
From our colonial forebears, who shaped this great land;
To those later crossing the sea and air stand;
As one, proud and strong; respecting the past;
Those indigenous people whose culture will last;
Forever here and now, such depth and such pride
There's nothing to fear, and nothing to hide
Unique and strong; a land of hope and dreams;
Inclusive yet diverse, and so it seems
Right to say that Oz , with you , we're never alone
Yeah we're blessed, thanks again for being our home.
Happy Australia Day everyone!

What a load of old bollocks, nauseating doggerel in the tradition of the equally vomitous True Blue. Mates alright, gifting taxpayer money to cronies whose companies earn record profits while squeezing the poor through the illegal Robo Debt, legislating for "religious freedoms" to allow the followers of Jesus to discriminate against Gays, locking innocent people up and spending millions of our tax dollars in the process just to keep a bigoted, racist 10% on side plus a well documented history of genocide. Patriotism, the last refuge of the scoundrel. Wake up sheeple.
