the politicians down under
have just given themselves a wage increase
and the taxpayer would be far happier
if this kind of thing did cease

our members of parliament
are fattening up their pay packets
we the taxpayers are onto their
most unwarranted rackets

they tell us we must show restraint
in all of our pay rise requests
as the nation's finances cannot be held down
by these outlandish behests

yet they so love having the extra quids
put into their pay pots
while us taxpayers never get a single dollar
placed into our meager plots

the politicians are great at lining
their pockets with our hard earned cash
they have no conscience
when it comes to raiding the taxpayer's stash

next year those greedy politicians
will be crying poor mouth again  
and us put upon taxpayer's
shall be feeling their wage rise pain
