Last year on this date, I paraphrased the words of Marcus Junius Brutus (and Gaius Epidius Marullus and Aussie bush poet Banjo Paterson) against tyranny to condemn the then Premier of Victoria, Australia, Daniel Michael Andrews (his full criminal name):

“You are a block, a stone, a worse than senseless thing.

You contaminate our future with mass debt

And sell the vison splendid of our southern land

For all the trash of Spring St cowards’ tyranny.

I would rather be a dog who bays the moon

than deny the simple agonising fact

that your wide deep crimes against democracy

are utterly destroying the Australia I loved

the Australia I believed in as a kindly motherland.”

Who else in modern or past politics could such things be said about?
