T. Sharples, Tweed Heads
Nobody does middle of the road better than politician Geoff Provest.
But the heat is in the kitchen and Justine wants his seat.
Question is – can she get it?
Please pay attention Matthew.
The ‘great unwashed’ will decide,
Far from the madding media.
They don’t write letters in,
They just subserviently vote.
To a locked in voting system with preferences to all the crazies.
And we tout it as the world’s greatest democracy.
While China rapes us,
While America rapes us,
While our own government rapes us
Who wouldn’t take a boat and come to the dumbest country in the world?
But this time the small fish WILL ultimately decide the outcome.
