Labor MPs sang an alternative version of The Twelve Days of Christmas outside Parliament House this morning.
Peter Garrett, Alan Griffin, Catherine King, Julie Owens and Anna Burke secured a spot on tonight’s television with their new lyrics attacking the Howard government’s industrial relations policy.
- Listen to the song:
On the twelfth day of Christmas my PM gave to me:
the end of certainty,
much longer hours,
jail if I protest,
less time for family,
lots of lost conditions,
many bosses sacking,
no more penalties,no rights at all.
No redundancy,
lower pay,
cuts to overtime
and a chance to trade away leave.
