Two questionable ex-prime ministers
are championing a convicted pedophile
with no regard for the damage he’s caused
total disregard for the legal system’s verdict!
A good mate they cry, a nice bloke
making us the public gasp and choke!
This should be a time to keep silence
for by making such a public display
Leaves us to draw our own conclusions
at the least they are condoning pedophilia,
one wonders if they are members of that club?
They chose a wrong time to speak …
Excusing the most despicable crime
pleading the louses case to escape doing time!
What is it about arrogant privileged power
that accepts such blatant abuse our young
Giving us the public an insight into just
what they find acceptable …
doing their utmost to lighten his sentence
they are indeed tarred by the same brush!
Now a high court judge is facing similar charges
the deviants have abused their power and contacts
but finally it’s all coming out …
still our media focus on them not the damage done!
John Howard and Tony Abbot are campaigning on behalf of George Pell …
sorry but we all know he will get woeful home detention
and reside in opulent luxury
hear there is a popular movement for the renaming of the roman catholic church
romans have long left now RC = Raping Children
sentence is due in a few hours …

This is sad and i can’t express my anger… As far as media is concerned they just need their TRP rating to increase…

This makes me sad and angry.
Thank your for putting a spotlight on this in your poem.
And the photo is a very powerful companion to your powerful, important, timely poem.
We must never remain silent about all of this and the epidemic it is in every country in the world.

All this sounds so ugly and shameless, and at the same time familiar also.
It’s time to question politicians and strong unbiased debates.

they need to be held accountable as we in Australia are paying massive pensions with perks to all our EX prime ministers … so one must wonder if they are too busy covering each others backs rather than finding anything useful to contribute back to those who pay them!

I sincerely feel we all need to shout as loud as we can until someone hears us … the survivors have done this alone for too long, now it’s our turn to see his sentence is appropriate … the sanctimonious slim!
