This tune is from the recently released third album, Let’s All Go to Mars, by the Australian independent rock band. Composed by band member Dean Lombard, he made the following statement concerning the jangly protest song: “I wrote this after the Manus Island Detention Centre was invaded by a violent mob after the Australian Government closed and abandoned it in October 2017. Their inhumane treatment of refugees and asylum seekers in the 21st Century was a stark contrast with the period up to the 1980s, when Australia welcomed people fleeing violence and seeking a new life. I was reminded of this contrast regularly, as I would often ride my bike past the mural of former PM Malcolm Fraser, commissioned by members of the local Vietnamese community in appreciation for Australia accepting so many refugees from the Vietnam War. We used to be the right place for people who needed a safe place to escape to, but not anymore.”
