Labor Member for Griffith, Terri Butler, didn’t hold back from outing herself as a Swiftie when she addressed parliament earlier this year, even confessing to voting for Tay Tay in the triple J Hottest 100. Posted by Andrew Giles MP on Wednesday, Febru4. As Taylor Swift (and my mate Terri Butler MP) would say: haters gonna hate…Tony Abbott said, ‘good government starts today’, but it’s a bad start to the year for Australian families.SHARE to show your support for the needs of Australian families today, and for us to shake off this government’s 1950s dreams and its self-indulgent family feud.Australian Labor Party Jenny Macklin MP
Judging by the furious interjections, I obviously hit a raw nerve when I spoke today about the Abbott Government’s cuts to family payments. “The haters are gonna hate, the players are gonna play,” The Member for Mallee told the House of Representatives back in February, complete with rhythmic hand movements, as popularised by the song’s video clip. Broad’s song of choice was also “Shake It Off” , because of course it was. Observe:Īnother Aussie MP to invoke the power of the Swift was Nationals backbencher, Andrew Broad, during a parliamentary speech he gave in support of the Enhancing Online Safety for Children Bil earlier this year. Duh. “I’m a very sensitive person, but I turn to the great American philosopher T-Swift,” Elferink said before launching into a spirited chorus of the chart-scorching hit. You could say I lost my faith in science and progress You could say I lost my belief in the holy church You could say I lost my sense of direction You could say all of this and worse. His song of choice? Tay Tay’s “Shake It Off”. Later, as I embarked on my journey into adulthood, I found Sting (Gordon Sumner). In the most recent example of a political top dog “chucking a Swiftie”, Northern Territory Attorney-General John Elferink broke out in song during a parliamentary sitting this week, while answering questions about mandatory alcohol treatment programs.

Mawpit have hit the ground running with a refreshing take on on contemporary alt-rock. With the climactic lyrics “Your greed will be the death of you, and you’ll be the death of me” it’s difficult to ignore the message of ‘Nature’s Curse’ and the melancholy that looms over you long after its end. She sings of her disappointment in them as they ruin her land by burning her trees and slaughtering her animals. Lament about the wildfire’s in Australia in last year and the rising concern of global warming, the track is written from the perspective of Mother Nature a ballad for her humans. Opening with the thunderous chorus riff, the song gives you a taste of its raw power before feeding you with the lullaby vocal of the verse. They have kicked off their journey debut single ‘Nature’s Curse,’ a political anthem with unforgettable lyrics and hard-hitting melodies.
