I will leave the immigration issue well alone.
Australia shares borders only with fish so for me to even offer a comment would be presumptious - (and possibly judgemental). Plus the issue is for small talk at max. or maybe even a political site IMO.
What I wanted to say was to thank Val for providing the added dimension to the lyrics to what is one of my absolute top 10ers of all of Gords songs.
That the song had a message that if you were merciful and not judgemental you would keep your own house in order , was clear enough to me. Emotionally I took on the lyrics in a general all comers sense.

That it related to immigration is news to me (I was slightly wrong about it's meaning for nearly 30 years lol), and I am pleased to know a bit more about that tune . Thanks again Val !
