Paul Kelly released a new song early February with lyrics that explain how the country is sleep-walking towards inaction on climate change – and one might add long-overdue constitutional and governance change. Set to become a seminal Oz anthem, it is a lullaby as well as a wake-up call, available on Spotify, Facebook and YouTube. It was featured on the 8 February edition of the ABC Arts program,The Mix.
