The title track of the EP is inspired by and criticises the treatment of asylum seekers and refugees by Tony Abbott's government in Australia.[2] Until the end of February 2015, all money made through sale of the EP was donated to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.[3] The EP directly impacted sales of the band's album Throw Me in the River, which rose to number 105 on the Australian Albums Chart the week of its release.[4]
The songs on this EP were recorded during the same session as Throw Me in the River in July 2014.[5]
Artwork
The artwork of the EP is a portrait of former Australian PM Tony Abbott painted by Shaun Thatcher.[5]
