The Forgotten People
See the Forgotten of today,
Who wish the government would make it plain,
And balance their budget to ease the strain,
On struggling families to ease their pain.
The New Forgotten, sought to glean,
A future secure, with vision clean,
A brighter future, In the great Australian dream.
Then came the governments with their policies so poor,
Who sold all resources within the land’s shores,
By shipping it to land’s with living standard poor,
Who sold it all back alas, with its many flaws!
God bless Australia surrounded by sea,
God bless Australia the land of the free
Come to Australia the welfare is free,
Where everyone can cry aloud, me, me, me!
Then there came the treasurer with a smile on his face,
Saying, ‘I’m here to stop inflation, that’s running in this place’,
‘This includes a little tax, interest and rates,
‘It won’t hurt a bit you see, It’s all for your sakes!
So, God bless Australia the land of the free,
Undermined unfortunately by the me, me, me,
As now the new Billionaires cry greed, greed, greed,
And fleece the new forgotten people as much as they please!
The still smiling treasurer cried, ‘You must balance your budget’
And the tax commissioners cried ‘And don’t you try and fudge it’
So, the new forgotten people were caught in a trap,
The cost-of-living pressures had their budgets on the mat,
While the billionaire’s wallets, all remained quite round and fat!
The New Forgotten People loved their simple way of life,
Singing Australia fair, and waving the Aussie flag with might,
On ANZAC day they gathered, at dawn’s first light,
And remember the men who bravely fell, In the country’s freedom fights.
So, God bless Australia the land of the free,
Where immigration once welcomed is going to be freezed,
Undermined unfortunately by Hanson and her team,
Who seem to have few policies and are living in a dream,
So, all the New Forgotten can do,
Is wring their hands and scream!
Wattto!
At 9.15 pm on a Friday evening in May 1942, Robert Menzies began a radio talk that was to define the shape of post-war Australia.
As he spoke, Australian troops were fighting in the Pacific to halt the advancing Japanese. Public bomb shelters were being prepared in Sydney and boats were being moved from their moorings in Rushcutters Bay because of the threat from Japanese submarines.
Yet Menzies spoke not about the war but of an Australia at peace, setting out a vision for a free and prosperous nation in which individuals would be empowered to fulfil their dreams through education and hard work.
