Thank you:

But that wasn't all, and the truth did flow

Because there was much, much more Australia did not know;

Prime Minister Morrison was not busy enough

So he started coveting his colleagues' stuff;

With Josh as his Treasurer and Greg Hunt in health

Our ex-PM decided to do those jobs in stealth;

Without telling the public, he played his constitutional tricks

Deciding he was so good at his job he would take on another six;

Despite this betrayal, this detailed hidden proof

His colleagues could not criticise despite the harsh truth.

In contrast, our new PM has led from the front

Tackling challenges head on and not being such a—stick in the mud;

Already we've enacted a wave of reform

And anticorruption commission and Public Service to transform;

There's fee-free TAFE places, new spots at uni too

We're fixing aged care and the NDIS for you;

We're helping to relieve costs, with cheaper child care

There's discounted medicines and a budget to repair;

And this year we embark on a constitutional choice

On whether we should have an Indigenous voice;

The reasons are clear: to give our First Nations a say

And to those who have supported it, I say: Happy Valentine's Day.
