I'Ve Heard You Pauline Hanson Poem by Francis Duggan

I've heard you Pauline Hanson but don't ask me to understand
Why you and those you speak for think that they own this Land
Your views with racist undertones give rise to racist fears
And your people not been here so long at most two hundred years.

You claim that the Aboriginals get more than a fair go
But you've never lived amongst them then how are you to know?
Of their special set of circumstance, the hardships they endure
To understand the less well off you would need to be poor.

You don't like the Asian migrants yet most Asians do work hard
At dawn on cold Spring mornings they leave the farmer's yard
To go working in the paddocks in a chilly five degrees
Their backs bent working all day long hard working Vietnamese.

But your ancestors Europeans and they were migrants too
And you've not been down to Gippsland or done work like Asians do
Cutting asparagus all day long your back bent towards the sky
No law say you should like them but their worth them don't deny.

You and your racist mate Graeme Campbell for Australia have a plan
We'll keep all migrants from our shores and keep down the native man
We'll make the rednecks happy and put the record straight
And get rid of multiculturalism and make Australia great.

I've heard you Pauline Hanson but I don't like what you say
For there well might be a civil war if you had your own way
You only speak for racists you give voice to their fear
And the World around is listening and they don't like what they hear.
