Lyric discussion by Brinjen 

This song is actually about Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen, who, at the time of this song's release was Premier of Queensland in Australia's north east.

He was known for turning Queensland into a police state and for changing the boundaries of the electorates to help him win elections. He also played a role in bringing down the Whitlam government.

It was also from the album 'Dreamtime', the title track inspired by Australian Aboriginal beliefs.

Also, Queensland is often referred to as "The Sunshine State".
