Children
Children over board
children from abroad
children from a brood
Of Arab crude.
Children in abuse
Children near us
in the Black abyss
Of violence and piss
Cast-aways are cast-over
half-casts are cast out
by manufactured enemies
from the desert
to the high-seas
Feds wave a ‘mandate’
Clash their mandibles
Spread fear’s pheromones
Through blinded channels
Baby-killers is the cry
A crime as old as time
The parents vilified
and left to reside
in villainy or Villawood
The privileged are
Spared the sword
And reappoint those
Who bestow this reward

March 2006 Interview with Joel Beasant on the Ratbag Radio Network
The Blather talks to our very own genetic designer (who makes a special appearance just to be on the show); chews the fat with a singer in a rock and roll band; tells Tasmanians how they should vote at their upcoming poll;defines what it means to be Aus-tral-ian (yet again!) and says a very very dirty word.
