"Australia (Whore of the World)" is a climate change protest song written by singer-songwriter John Gordon and released in late 2010.
[1] It has featured in a wide variety of Australian press and online media, including mining forums, and continues to garner attention due to its controversial and provocative message.
[3] The song was banned by ABC Local Radio Southern Queensland (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) as being too provocative for a conservative audience.
In May 2011, Gordon contested the Toowoomba ruling, the case currently going before the independent ABC Consumer and Audience review board, to no avail.
The song was written in the Ngaanyatjarra lands of Western Australia where Gordon worked in music production and development.
