An exhortation*
Cate Blanchett: “Come on, you people,
let us all bravely jump out
of this aeroplane!”
Other Passengers: “But we shall die!” Cate: “Tush!
You can do it if I can;
it won’t hurt a bit!”
Other Passengers: “That’s all very well
for you to say because you
have a parachute!”
Fairfax and the ABC: “Shut up, hateful slobs!
Those with parachutes also
have a right to speak.”

Criticism is so hurtful
Cate’s imploring us
to say ‘Yes’ to a new tax
to ruin us all.
Gillard has the hide
to tax carbon dioxide:
that’s just suicide.
The artistic Cate
supports the ruling party:
how adventurous!
Here’s her argument:
“It’s for the environment!
Back the Government!”
