Labor is red; the Liberals are blue; on this Valentine's Day I have a poem for you:

In just 12 months so much is new

Let's have a look at what we've all been through;

Back then our ex-PM did not hold a hose

Said t'was not a race—did he lie? Macron knows;

We went to an election and the choice was easy

Australia did choose Prime Minister Albanese;

His plan for a better future is what the country had needed

A positive vision for Australia as PM Morrison receded;

Onto these benches were moved, and that's when it all came out

All the secrets they'd been hiding, all the mistruths they had spout;

Weeks before the poll, in a cunning secret of plot

The member for Hume gave nondisclosure a shot

No, it wasn't doctored travel receipts—it was much worse

It was Minister Taylor's secret hit to the purse;

A 20 per cent jump in the price of our power

Kept hidden during the campaign, released in the final hour;
