ALBANESE'S BLACK APARTHEID

Phil Roberts 1957 (Melbourne)



Only three-point four percent
Yet Albo says they have to reign,
The Voice was only for the few
And would wash democracy away.

They have five percent of pollies
But Albo says that's not enough,
The truth came out despite him
We all saw through his evil bluff.

He told every lie that came to him
He cheated, maligned, and defamed,
Yet when his racist conspiracy failed
He refused to accept any of the blame.

He corrupted Monash University
Who took part in his evil campaign,
Even Qantas joined in the slander
Taking part in non-patriot games.

"Minorities rule!" little Albo said
"Only minorities matter!" he cried,
But his conspiracy came unstuck
Because we saw through all his lies!

Only three-point four percent
Yet Albo says they have to rule,
We think, like the man on the hill
Albanese is a bloody fool!

Democracy means for everyone
Not just for three-point four percent,
I pine for Albanese's Black Apartheid
And all the millions wrongfully spent.

Millions that should've been spent
On housing the poor and homeless,
Instead of promoting minority rule
So let's put the Voice to rest.

THE END
