1990s anti-One Nation protesters

Hey Hey, Ho Ho Pauline Hanson’s got to go

Sexist, racist, anti-gay, right-wing bigots go away

Racist, sexist, anti-queer, Liberals are not welcome here

Say it loud, say it clear, racists are not welcome here

Land rights yes, racists no, that’s why Hanson’s got to go

Hanson’s a failure, no white Australia

Students storm the Q & A set, May 2014

(Tony Jones, perturbed: “You guys are really doing yourselves no favours”)

 


 

Chris Pyne, come off it, Education is Not-for-Profit

Chris Pyne, Fuck you, we deserve a future too

No cuts, no fees, no corporate universities

Cuts, Job Losses, Money for the Bosses, Chris Pyne get out, we know what you’re all about

When they say cutbacks, we say fightbacks, Cutbacks, Fightbacks (repeat)

The workers united, we’ll never be defeated

 


 

 

Young Liberals at the National Union of Students Conference, 2006

My mother drives a porsche and my daddy drives a merc.

My wallets full of money coz I’ve never had to work

I know of every rort and every lurk and every perk

But I still call myself left

 

Refrain

My parents social class is ruling

I’ve had the best of private schooling

I don’t know who I think I’m fooling

But I still call myself left.

 

I’m in the student union ’cause it adds to my CV,

I don’t like VSU because I hate democracy,

I harvest marijuana and I chain myself to trees,

But I still call myself left.

 

Refrain

 

For many years I’ve studied at the university

But I’m still no fucking closer to getting my degree

That’s okay because my daddy owns BHP

But I still call myself left.

 

Glory Glory Liberal Students

Glory Glory Liberal Students

Glory Glory Liberal Students

Coz VSU is law/in

 


 

 

Also:

I’m Maxine from Mosman, you can call me working class,

I sip chardonnay from latte mugs, not ordinary glass,

Impartial public programming’s a giant fucking farce,

But I still call myself left.

 

Hi my name is Kevin and I’m married to Therese,

She put her staff on workchoices and now they work for free,

It’s shit like this that makes me richest man in the ALP,

But I still call myself left.
