In painful strains that left a sting.....

Typing is not activism picked up on this version of the Australian national anthem, by indigenous artist Adam Hill, in The Age at the beginning of June:

Australians all let us remorse

For we are blind can't see

We've golden soil that we all spoil

Our home washes into sea

Our land abounds in racist gits

Of whom we really can't bear

In history's cage recompense the slaves

Do Australians really care?

In painful strains that left a sting

Do Australians really care?


I can almost hear Gert sigh with relief that this time she didn't get a mention.
