theMusic.com.au published an article today featuring some Australian musician's views on the election. You'll read the opinions of Solo from Horrorshow, Jeswon from the Thundamentals, Mark Seymour of Hunters & Collectors and myself among many others.

All my people stand up. With the election just a few days away, here are my thoughts. We deserve better. Hold our leaders and their parties accountable for their words. Question them until you get to the truth. Ultimately, it us, the people, who feel the effects of their words and actions.
This is an Open Letter. If you share it, use the hashtag #OpenLetter.
Dear Mr Tony Abbott and Mr Kevin Rudd
And any future politician making an election run
This letter is for you, I hope you get it before voting day
I've got a lot on my mind and this is what I have to say
You won't get my vote coz what you represent is appalling
it seems you prioritise headlines and name calling
what about us? we stand to lose the most when you fall
because your actions and words they affect us all
you don't feel the consequences, but I tell you, we do...
us people, particularly those in minority groups
We face the discrimination and the racial tension
that began with the "us vs them" mentality you created
you can deny it all you want, that's coz you don't see it
But I'm telling you it's real, there's a whole heap of us who feel it
You can't deny our voices or tell us to get over it
When you're the ones who benefit from this hateful environment
the latest trend is for you to ignore what's most relevant
and to capitalise on desperate lives to excel at this
game of politics, and trying to gain votes
You should prioritise stopping ignorance over stopping boats
I'm tired of the misinformation for political gain
whenever I hear you speak I can't help but feel ashamed
even our children know better, just take a look around
we deserve true leaders, ha you've let us all down
And to the people of Australia, know this
Our leaders are playing a game and it's called politics
See the objective is to win the competition
they'll to do anything it takes to defeat the opposition
they'll shift their position, sacrifice long term visions
Call on broader racism, fears and patriotism
And if they think it'll help them win, they'll even trade away the greater good of humanity
and we will be the casualties
This is more game, there are lives at stake
Our leaders reject accountability for the problems they create
I urge you, don't settle for the lesser of the two
Hold them to account and make them raise their standards too
Demand real leadership whenever you hear or see them speak
If we're not guided by truth then our foundation is weak
If you think there's no other choice, demand better from the two
and if you feel the same then this letter is yours too
Humbly yours...

The first session of the Hip Hop Projections 7 workshops went really well today. The participants have great energy and such powerful ideas. We spoke about what Hiphop/Hip Hop means to us. What does it mean to you?
For me its a way of understanding (self), a way of communicating and a way to connect with communities. It's more than a moment of self-expression. It can help us tap into our potential so that we can become the best we can be. And it allows us to contribute to the world in a meaningful way.
So what does Hiphop/Hip Hop mean to you?

Hip Hop Projections 7 starts tomorrow at 11am. HH7 is a great program for people looking to build their skills in song-writing, recording, music production, film editing, graffiti art and breaking (break dancing). I'm running the MC workshops. The program is for free and runs for 5 weeks, with a showcase at the end. Looking forward to building with you all.
