Yeah, a wonderful song; we really needed another patriotic song to convince ourselves that there are "no problems, mate" in Australia.

How much sense does it make to write lyrics about 'building for the future under the southern sun' if nature is burning up under it because our ignorant PM is in denial about global warming.
Australia's input in a green future is pathetic!

Glory for our eyes- yeah like the bleaching coral reefs and the disappearing forests?

What a laugh!

Ah yes the environment, but don't shoot the messenger please as Amanda is a non eco warrior for boat people [or WAS] so was acting under instructions as Kurtz points out

" But we must kill them. We must incinerate them. Pig after pig, cow after
cow, village after village, army after army. And they call me an
assasin. What do you call it when the assasins accuse
the assasin ? They lie.. they lie and we have to be merciful
for those who lie. Those nabobs. I hate them. How I hate them..."

But now the tune is right up top at http://www.amandaforpm.com so yo all join in

I am doing a cover version called Rodent's Lament

Were I marking the 'Fatstone Ode' in Year Five, English, I'd give it 75%

but if it were for a Year 9 the mark would drop to 60%

Year 12 50% and for Final year in Uni...20%

After working it over for 6 years while in parliament about 2%

But I'd give her 100% for audacity and thick skin.

Celivia,

You can always return to Holland.

For those who don't know, Celivia is a Hollander with residency in Australia. She is not Australian. She just has a big mouth and no manners which, she thinks, gives her the right to sound off about a country with which she has no real connection.

2 things

1 dont forget to goto http://www.amandaforpm.com and tune in and sing along

2 bin working on new words to that horrible "sheep in puddle" song and got the first verse "in the can" and talking to Michael Jackson about a recording

here is first draft

Once a Lying Rodent
Went down to the water's edge
Hoping to see his ship come in
On the horizon was the SS Ta-am-per
Oh what a fort-un-ate thing, going forward

Refrain

Throw them over-board
Chuck them over-board
I say who comes into this cu*t-er-ee

so any suggestions for more verses - come on, the election is not far off so we need "meaningful outcomes, going forward"

Leigh, you really shouldn't drink so early in the day.
