Fixing fences, and considering our law'

Trust was to be the cornerstone..An emerging
Nations creed,  in act and speech; through the very teeth
Rough or smooth, was the way thatl we all did
Choose.' A place where Jack was as good as the master .And first names the address to
All.' Where each voice ' should be heard' my
Flam'in word' what have we been driven too all.?
Our contracts were mostly unwitten.' In the
Everyday walk of life..Too be fair if in need
Youd be given.' then you'd make good,
When you'd got through your strife.' And this
Was the way we went forward.' The government 'had our back' this was repeated
In the 1990's as our firearms were cleared from their racks..I seem to remember? Was it
Lexington? a place in the good old U S A, a similar case once
Had happened..A step to their revolution some
Say.? Yet back to this story of Australia and the
Reality of 'contract law'  If i agrred to build you
A fence..When start date came, i'd be up and on it for
Sure.' And if we agreed it would be painted
That would also be done.' It was the way of
Each generation, of whom some are still living
Under that same golden sun.' So what has been done ' in the spirit.' For the good of Australia the whole.' I say our contracts all have  been
Broken.' We are shamed to the world..Be it told' a nation of freedom and plenty, open hearted the whole world once knew, 
To be sold to a parcel if robbers.' Is obscene
Well past enough.? Now then mates..What
Think all of you?
