Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

This was written after Howard's immoral response to Tampa.
ANTHEM FOR A NEW AUSTRALIA

For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share!
We'll put you in detention-
You'll rot forever there.
Where once we showed some empathy
Humanity we lack.
With courage let us all combine
And send the bastards back

Australians all, let us rejoice!
We're white and old and free!
But we'll treat you as a criminal
If you're a refugee..
