Rundle: a jolly coalition motivational song

Guy Rundle writes:

(Tune: duh)

 

What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
Early in the campaign?

Put him in charge of election spending
Put him in charge of election spending
Put him in charge of election spending
Half a million for a baboon*

Nine billion cash for kids in schools
Nine billion cash for kids in schools
Including Grammar and Cranbrook
Buys an awful lot of rowboats

A bil and a half for more child care
Paid parental leave isn’t anywhere
Makes you wonder who gets what there
Well, that’s easy as ABC

Another thirty bil in taxes give back
Another thirty bil in taxes give back
The public wont work out it’s crap
What? Oh damn they have.

Two three four….

What shall we do with a debt fulled nation?
What shall we do about stagflation?
Sign more cheques and pray Australians
Are as delusional as we’ve been

*yes yes. No letters please.

    “What shall we do with a debt fulled nation?” - er, the only government debt lies with the Labor States.
    “What shall we do about stagflation?” - er, we don’t have stagflation, we have demand-pull inflation (which is GOOD).

    Rundle must be rich if he doesn’t want tax cuts. Have you bought a house or increased an existing mortgage in past few years? If so, what’s the problems with others doing it? Have you benefited from the boom or are you angry at having missed the boat?
