@maudenificent@aus.social @joannejacobs@aus.social He also authorised the Yes campaign during the Voice to Parliament referendum to use that song: https://nit.com.au/03-09-2023/7499/youre-the-voice-farnhams-not-gonna-sit-in-silence He, along with Jimmy Barnes, has explicitly said he doesn't want his songs used by anti-immigration groups: https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/john-farnham-disgusted-by-reclaim-australias-use-of-youre-the-voice-20150722-gii2ba.html One of Farnham's last performances before his health issues was with Mitch Tambo, where Tambo sang You're the Voice in Language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L225JeAWS44 Way back in the '90s, Farnham wrote a song called The Time has Come, which is basically about Land Rights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as-26k5zMZ4 And here's '80s mullet Farnsie calling Apartheid in South Africa an abomination, while introducing a song that also acknowledges Martin Luther King: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjSiWAwvWGU (I would point out that Farnham is himself an immigrant, but sadly that one seems to mean little these days.) So yes. While John Farnham is not an explicitly political artist, he has made his views on this stuff known over the years. Repeatedly. And he's clearly not on Team Pauline.
