"Don’t you bring your poison/ Don’t you bring your grog/ Don’t you bring your smallpox/ Sure to kill our mob." Midnight Oil's first new song in 18 years,was introduced to the world by drummer and songwriter Rob Hirst on Sydney's Redfern-based Koori Radio station on Thursday morning.
Sultan, the Stiff Gins' Kaleena Briggs and co-writers Bunna Lawrie and Joel Davison contribute to a climactic shout-out from their various homelands: Arrernte, Gurindji, Wiradjuri, Yorta Yorta, Mirning and Gadigal.Hirst told Koori Radio that he lives on Gamaragal land on Sydney's north shore, but most of his schooling was on Gadigal turf, south of the Harbour.
Lawrie is a senior Mirning elder, whale songman and pioneering indigenous rocker with his band Coloured Stone. Invited to thesessions by Hirst late last year, Lawrie found himself contributing clapsticks and the refrain of "wenyo, wenyo, wenyo", a welcoming greeting in his language.
He loves singling about how politicians should be better... but he was a useless politician himself ... didn't it teach him that fixing a problem like this might be more difficult than stating it should change?
Midnight Oil in politics . . . no rage, just conformity and ideology
It's garbage. Reinforces bigotry of low expectations.
Boo get off, tuneless garbage. The Guy was dreadful Politician also. There are Gadigal women btw. Indigenous women make up 2% of Australians population & 34% of the women incarcerated are indigenous women.
Cant wait to hear this

Bullshit. No one’s going to be able to step outside their house in 50 years without the permission of a congregation of lazy-asses. This has already gone way too far

Mandatory hotel quarantine for Vic travellers returning to Sydney | Sky News AustraliaNSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian will force every returning traveller landing in Sydney Airport from Victoria to quarantine in a hotel for two weeks.\n\nThose travellers will also be hit with the total cost of the quarantine to ensure taxpayers are not left picking up the tab.\n\n“In view of the health advice, in view of the escalating situation in Victoria, the New South Wales government today has decided, based on the evolving health situation and the health advice, to ensure and require that every returning traveller from Victoria is in the mandatory 14-day hotel quarantine when they get to Sydney Airport,” she said.\n\n“We are also mandating that no-one can come to New South Wales outside of those border communities that's defined in the public health orders, but for Sydney Airport. \n\n“We don't want to see multiple places where returning travellers are coming. And we also feel, given the evolving situation in Victoria has been going on for some weeks, that do that at their own expense.”\n\nThe changes came after Premier Daniel Andrews announced 15 more people had been killed by the virus – 12 of which were linked to the troubled aged care sector - which brought the state’s death toll to 162 since the beginning of the pandemic.\n\nThe Premier also confirmed another 745 cases of coronavirus in the past 24 hours.\n Hoax Only those landing at Sydney airport? Well......obviously - maybe track every single one for the last month and put them in a cupboard also
