Whatever happened to those popular protest songs about work and corporate greed?

I remember a family holiday down the South Coast of New South Wales about 12-13 years ago. We had two small children and tried to book into a B&B near Narooma that we had stayed in a couple of years before. Alas the new, unfriendly owner had adopted a no child policy. However she did say that we would be welcome if we booked out all three rooms, after all this was what Peter Garrett had done. I pointed out to the owner that unlike this so-called "working-class hero", we couldn't afford to book out all three rooms. So we stayed elsewhere.

If Garrett and Barnes are working class heroes then John Howard is an honest man.
