Mother Earth be damn’d:
Australian Prime Minister
Anthony Albanese, neoliberal,
Fossil fuel subsidiser
Coal mine, LNG* green-lighter,
Wolseley Road, Point Piper
Manservant!
Isaac River Queensland
New coal mine,
Two million five hundred
Ghastly thousand carbon tonnes,
3C—no worries, mate.
Bye-bye Beaut Barrier,
G’day Godawful Graveyard!
Evans Shoal
Timor Sea new LNG,
Fracking carbon bomb,
Seven point five million
Gaseous carbon yearly tonnes,
Italy’s Eni, Albanese subsidised,
Highway to Hell
Hightailers!
Wonderful Worldly recognisables!
C’mon NSW^ Premier
Chris Minns,
Protect Australia’s animals
Endanger’d tree dwelling koalas,
End native forest logging
At once!
Hoy Jeremy Rockliff
Chief Tasmanian legislator,
Subsidising foreign fellers,
Killing masked owls, swift parrots
Critically endanger’d beings;
Wood chips stokin’ AGONY,
Really?
Wilderness tourism mate,
Study spending statistics!
Bob Brown Foundationers
Gratitude debt,
Daring defenders
Thwarting tree snatchers,
Treesitting rare old-growth
Fearlessly guarding native forests,
Vive la révolution!
