Hell by Squirrel Nut Zippers (Ukulele Cover)

For 44 years the Catholic church has run public healthcare in the Australian Capital Territory. Three of my 5 children were born at the Calvary hospital in Bruce.

On Sunday, 2nd July, the cross was removed from the building in Bruce, as the ACT government had compulsorily acquired the land.

By some the situation is seen as an attack on people of faith. And seeing photos of the cross being removed today, after 44 years, it is hard not to see the events in that light.

Here is a great live version of this song:
