GROWTH INDUSTRY

"Uranium's a growth industry," he said,
"Invest - it'll put a smile on your dial"
Yeah, you're sure to get a growth out of it,
Just ask the Marshall Islanders.

URANIUM

For rich, old individuals,
The dividends are creamier,
For thousands of our children,
The dividend's leukemia.

ELECTION SOUTH KOREA

Election South Korea,
Computer mal-function,
Government was re-elected Friday,
Election was on Saturday,
Apology issued.

HERITAGE PARK

Everytime I hear "Heritage Park",
I fear some low-down sleazy con,
I look out my window straight away
To see if the bush is gone.

GULLIES OF GALLIPOLI

The bare, dry, ugly gullies of Gallipoli,
Have vanished long ago, and far away,
But the lush and ever green,
The most beautiful ever seen
Rainforests are bulldozed here everyday.

THE AWU

Who put the "W" in AWU?
I'll ask the question, workers often do,
I'd like to trouble you, about that "W",
Who put the "W" in AWU?

MORE SACKINGS

They're sacking thousands of workers,
They're pushing more out of the gate,
The Libs say: "Goodbye,scum!"
The Labs say: "Goodbye, mate!"
