Midnight Oil Beds Are Burning (Live At Olympics 2000)

Nice music

As the guys in Monty Python said: Australia! Australia! We love you!

This song wasn't written in reference to Howard as you say. Howard wasn't Prime Minister when the wrong was released in 1987. It was written in response to the debate about Aboriginal land rights which occurred in the 80s.

The song was written back in 1987, long before Howard was Prime Minister. They didn't write the song in disgust over Howard's refusal to apologise. It was written to the debate back in the 80s around Aboriginal land rights.

he's referring to the "sorry" on their clothes, not the writing of the song

Woops, my bad, it was meant to be in reference to someone else's comment! Sorry!

Don't say "abo", it's offensive.

why is "sorry" stadin´ on there clothes???

Read wikipedia about this.

"This was a reference to the Prime Minister's refusal to apologize, on behalf of the government of Australia, to the Aboriginal Australians for the way they had been treated over the previous 200 years, particularly in relation to native title and the government-sanctioned removal of Aboriginal children of the Stolen Generations from their families."
