The Price Of Votes

Kevin Rudd when deposed by Julia Gillard as P M of Australia warned his party not to lurch to the right
But like the true politician of his words he made light
When he deposed Gillard as Prime Minister  he made a quick policy change
Suppose the lust for political power  does make people act strange

Even more to the right than the Liberal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott never thought i would see the day
That a Labor led Government in Australia would behave in such a way
Towards poor and stateless people who oppressive governments did flee
In Australia no welcome for a boat refugee

In Australia conservative voters are in majority
The people who seem lacking in empathy
Their votes the next Government of Australia will decide
And the Labor Government on harsh asylum seeker policies  are trying to keep them on side

Asylum seekers arriving by boat in Australia no longer allowed to stay
Sent to be processed in asylum detention centers in Asia this does seem sad to say
From Australia's shores they are turned away
For a looming Federal Election in Australia the poor Stateless made to pay.
