    Ran a pub back in the day and it as devastating watching folks burn through their earnings every day. Around 8pm we had the school kids come by with no shoes still in their uniform asking if mum and dad are in there cause they are hungry and haven't had dinner. You realize they aren't getting dinner cause it was plugged into the pokies.
    I'm with you Tim, Blow em up!!!

    The most significant song in Aussie cultural history. IFYYK.

      Really? More than Waltzing Matilda? I wish people would think before they let their emotions of the moment get away with them on UA-cam. There are dozens of songs in contention for this category you just made up, dude, but here you are pronouncing in the moment without thinking. Please, think first. It's a good song by Greta, the real writer, but don't legislate universally, please.

    It's always been a great song but just the same it's always been a sad context relative to a real problem in Australian society for many years. Bravo.

      Nah the barely regulated pokies are great and have no downsides!

    I've never heard this pub choir version it sounds amazing. I'm not crying 🥲 His voice is amazing on it's own but it really elevated it with a crowd doing some harmony. I would love to hear him with a professional choir that would sound amazing in person.

    None of these soulless pubs/clubs/casinos/online betting companies can survive without gambling addiction,their business model leeches off misery and the proceeds of crime.i reckon this song has definitely saved lives.bravo tim

    Pretty sure that’s the late Peta Murphy MP at the 10 second mark, who was a leading advocate on pokies reform.

    ironic that a pub choir would say "blow up the pokies" in Australia. Love the message of the song though.
