Senator Ludlam features in Melbourne duo Rap News’ latest Youtube video.
Introduced by one of the rappers as a hippie and greenie that always tries to stop the fun, Senator Ludlam replies by using the reporter’s fictitious name “Ken Oathcarn”.
He then goes on to say the coalition government’s bid to mandate telcos to keep metadata will make Australia “a fascist f***fest of Orwellian proportions”.
“I’ll go full Gandalf on this government’s arse. Smack down their laws with a dose of: You shall not pass,” he rhymes.
After several stanzas calling for Australia’s internet users to unite, Senator Ludlam finishes his cameo dressed up as the Lord of the Rings wizard and blasts a rapper dressed up as Prime Minister Tony Abbott offscreen.
Senator Ludlam said the Rap News outfit, who have more than 91,000 Youtube subscribers, approached him for the video and he agreed due to the respect he had for their work.
He said he had received no blowback for the video, putting that down to its satirical context.
