- Film Clip: It’s Time To Raise Newstart (“It’s Time” Gough Whitlam Jingle Rendition)
The Newstart Choir was formed in South Australia and comprises unemployed people, pensioners, single parents, and workers who all support a raise to Newstart. They’ve recorded a rousing reworked rendition of the iconic “It’s Time” jingle, used by the Labor Party and Gough Whitlam in the 1972 federal election. This is brilliant work by our friends at Anti-Poverty Network SA, and everyone else involved!
