Remember the Budget in 2019?  A 7:30 ‘news’ transmission?
Used as free election hustings for the Coalition?
PM Morrison claimed we were ‘Back in Black’
That was a big lie, we now see looking back.

Three years on, a ‘pollie’ clearly not lyin’-
Independent candidate Dr Monique Ryan,
Has replaced Josh, as member for Kooyong,
He’d rested on his laurels for far too long.

The National Party of the Coalition,
Still can’t agree that we must transition,
Climate change is here and it is real,
Not invented by an independent Teal!

So Oz has chosen Labor, all heart, blood red,
Uluru Statement, education, healthy children well fed,
A working wage and oldies in good care.
Here’s our Australia – just, free and fair!

Notes: I wrote this a week before the election, wondering if Australians were ready for an ALP government at last, then was side-tracked by the last week of the campaign so forgot to post it! Turns out, I was somewhat prophetic in my writing and we’ve all downed a few few glasses of red since then! I’ve had to do some minor adjustments on my pome, like changing question marks to exclamations, but I think it fits the occasion now!

Here in the West we were all MORE than ready for more reds on Saturday at 9.00 pm our time, with 72 ALP seats and winning! We’re still to reach that magic number 76 and soon we’ll be flying even higher! Now we have the Teals and Greens etc in the mix we see those LNP blues are really BLUE. Three days after the election, our Labor govt is already working; our new PM and Foreign Minister are in QUAD talks in Japan, those three flags are firmly placed for more strong messages and media announcements to the nation from Parliament House. Minister Burney MP is moving on the Uluru Statement. ICAC is not far away. Change is here! What else is there to say?
