Labor In Name Only Poem by Francis Duggan

The Australian Labor party Labor in name only
With Howard's Liberals they fight for the votes at the top end of Town
They don't give a damn about the low paid workers
Or all of those who are financially down.

Mark Latham the so called new Labor firebrand
Is as much a right winger as John Howard
The man he hopes to dethrone as Australia's Prime Minister
The incumbent by the Australian voters empowered.

But if Mark Latham becomes Australia's Prime Minister
He will not be helping out the working poor
Or even those far worse off on welfare
He won't make their lives any more financially secure.

The only voice for the under classes of Australia
Is the Greens leader Senator Bob Brown
But he will never become Australia's Prime Minister
For one like him no such renown.

The Australian Labor Party Labor in name only
The Australian under class they see fit to ignore
Whilst the rich grow richer and the poor grow poorer
One well might say we've heard it all before.
