Open Letter To The Prime Minister
Ben Lee
[Spoken]8 March 1998dear mr prime minister,to be honest, im kind of disgusted with the state of this country and i amholding you directly responsible.ive got no diseases, no obvious birthmarks, im not black, im not female,sure im jewish, but basically im a straight white male, and i still cantunderstand why there is even a feather left for me to ruffle.mr prime minister, im queasy every time i read the newspaper.i read about the new flag the country is demanding and whether our emblemshould contain a southern cross or not and i cant believe its even worththe discussion. i want to see a giant penis on our flag. i want it made ofvelvet and encased in glitter.i want a flag that is worthy of a solid burning.i want to know why isnt our prime minister a homosexual? i was personallymore interested in whether or not paul keating grabbed the queens arsethan any of the issues that you seem to be tackling. mr prime minster, whydo you always wear black and grey? are you hiding something? are youafraid of us?i still cant believe there is a feather left for me to ruffle.i want to know why there are american accents all over my television set.as far as im concerned, kant is a german philosopher. why do allaustralian rock musicians sing in american accents? why are there noaustralian rock musicians?mr prime minister, why doesnt australia have a black panther party?where is our bob dylan?where is our andy warhol?why do you make me sound like a third rate allen ginsberg?dont answer me.what do you know about poetry anyway.why dont we learn anything in school? perhaps that was a sweepinggeneralization but i just finished twelve years of it and i know how tospell your name but cannot be bothered to write it down.why am i so ashamed of where i am from? i sit up all night watchinginfomercials and parliamentary sessions and i cannot think of one reasonto travel to canberra. i am waiting for you to wear pink. mr primeminister, when are you going to give me a fucking break?i want to see you dancing in spastic glee outside an islamic shrine, orhard copy footage of you caught doing naughty things in kings cross, and iwant to say i knew it right away!why do you bore me?every time i walk out the front door, i think you have sent men to watchme in unmarked cars. and i havent even done anything. yet.mr prime minister, im as ready as you are.get me some glamour, mr prime minister, some escapism. i want to know whywe still havent settled the aboriginal land right issue. ill give up myhouse right now, if you will put an end to this. we all know this isntreally our home. lets stop kidding around.mr prime minister, mr hand is tired. i havent slept for five days, ivebeen waiting up for reruns of good morning america and i think you haveforgotten about me.when did we become a colony?mr prime minister, im restless.mr prime minister, i dont like the state we are in, and im holding youdirectly responsible.your friend,benjamin michael lee
