“But I was just a boy then and now as the Governor-General I have to balance this society and by balancing I mean keeping the minority happy.”
“Don’t you mean the majority, father?” Saad frowned.
“No that is where you are wrong, son. It is the minority that needs to be controlled”
“I don’t understand father” Saad replied “are you talking about racial minorities or...”
“No of course not” his father said “Listen Saad, and listen well. The majority of people are intelligent. They know what is going on and are well aware of the failings of society, but they suffer from a major flaw”
“What is that?”
“They are placid”
“I’m not sure what you mean?”
“They will sit on their hands and say ‘I can do nothing about this’ or ‘the system can’t be changed as it is too big for them’, never realising that they are in fact the system and if they all stood up together and said enough is enough then the whole ruling faction would collapse in a day.”

“The Four Horsemen and the Zombies of Tasmania
The voters complacent the politician now leads
He’s just a cog in the business of greed
He does not protect; he exploits and devours
He serves not the people, but money and power
The religious turn the message of love to hate
Their arrogance that only they can see Heaven’s gate
They oppress women and those they deem strange
But the abuse of the children shows just how deranged
The general orders a soldier’s fate
To kill his brother and sister, he must not hesitate
For the politician and the religious, he must always serve
From blind obedience, he must not swerve
The Power of Money is king over all it surveys
You are a slave of debt till the end of your days
It’s a way of control; you would wake up if you knew
That the sweat of your labour benefits only the few
Be free, young ones; show us a bright new way
Let not the four horsemen bring your life to decay
But be careful, young ones, for they are easy to find
They are waiting there, lurking in the back of your mind
Lily Dayton, Hobart Mayor, year 2090”

“Well, just remember the mantra. You don’t need to follow me; you don’t need to follow anybody,” said Roland to all three of them.
“I know, I know, you’ve said this before,” Jeremy agreed hurriedly.
“‘You’ve got to think for yourselves,’” he quoted.
“You’re all individuals,” Edward chimed in, knowing what was coming next. “Hmm, I’ve never heard of that philosopher. What did you say his name was? Brian or—What’s that noise?”
