‘Straya, no worries
‘Straya is watching
the cricket
the footy
the tennis
and the golf
no stress
‘Straya is
on the beach – tanning
in the pub – guzzling
at the gym – pumping
no dramas
‘Yes’ vote fails’
chill bro’
‘70 Australian women murdered in 2023’
all good
‘Nazis on the trains’
too easy
‘Straya mate, it is what it is
Buy anthology here:
This collection had its beginnings in the shame, sadness and disbelief that was felt by many after the result of the Voice referendum in 2023.
The poems here passionately express those reactions and also unflinchingly explore some of the truths about Australia and its history that, if they had been more widely known, might have led to a different result. It is hoped that readers will find solace, inspiration and hope in the pages that follow.
