Lock the Gate!
Australians like to leave stuff in the ground;
We won’t be digging coal or tapping gas.
Nor will we mine uranium we’ve found —
Australians like to leave stuff in the ground.
For Venezuela it seems we are bound.
We could be so much richer, but alas,
Australians like to leave stuff in the ground;
We won’t be digging coal or tapping gas.
— D.N. O’Brien
