Tim Levinson, Kenny Sabir and Shannon Kennedy from The Herd, have used music as an outlet to express their opinions on a variety of issues. Their song 77% which features the line "77% of Aussies are racist" refers to survey results that revealed the majority of Australians agreed with the former Australian Federal Government’s response to the Tampa affair. With a history of expressing active opinions through their music, The Herd members will discuss how democracy influences the inspiration of their craft. Tracks of The Herd are included in the Museum of Australian Democracy’s Living Democracy exhibition.
