Midnight Oil - Ships of freedom


Powdies will remember Tim Winton's glorious introduction to "20000 Watt RSL" which began "Kiss no bum, tug no forelock".


He recently made a Palm Sunday plea about refugees, saying that "For the past few years, as traumatised people have fled towards safety, towards what they believed was a civilised and compassionate haven, our national peace of mind has been built upon the hidden, silent suffering of others"
