Australian Politics: Pastor Martin Niemöller's poem revisited


First Abbott came for the ABC, and I did not speak out - because I was not employed at the ABC.
Then Abbott came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.
Then Abbott came for welfare recipients, and I did not speak out - because I was not disabled or unemployed.
Then Abbott came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.
