Tasmania has made its choice.
Mainland conservationists rejoice.
Bob Brown has spoken to McKim.
It’s known that he has counselled him
To carry on the good and holy fight
And spurn the liberals on the right
While remembering to be very deft
With union machinations on the left.
The big priority, the number one,
Is bringing down the ghastly Gunns.
McKim points out, for good or ill,
The bill’s been passed to have that mill.
Journalists who have been on tenterhooks
Report today that at last it looks
As some pundits had long ago foreseen
The government will be red with just a touch of green.
Tassie voters reading this just shrug and smile.
What else did they expect? This is the Apple Isle!
