Perth music sensation Tim Minchin has entered Australia’s same-sex marriage postal vote debate in the only way he knows how — through song.

The man behind smash hit stage musical Matilda threw his support behind the ‘yes’ vote with a take on Peter Allen’s anthem I Still Call Australia Home posted to more than 600,000 Facebook followers earlier this morning.

“A heartfelt song to my homeland, recorded last night on my iPhone. With love. (With apologies to that fabulous, much-missed genius, Peter Allen),” he wrote.

In just three hours it has been liked more than 17,000 times and shared to more than 22,000 people.

Minchin interweaved his own lyrics to give his view — and belts out a message to our politicians.

The song ends with a message from Minchin: “I think the proposed plebiscite on marriage equality is noxious and obnoxious. Polls show that Aussies are overwhelmingly in favour of marriage equality. If the horrid thing goes ahead...Let’s drown the MOFOS in ‘YES’ votes.”
