Political Censorship Be Damned!

In my semi-regular blogging life, I have seen some really weird things. Now, for those Australians out there, I present to you a non-political, a-typical guide to voting in the election [or something to get me out of handing in my essay on Russian history]. So here are some little hints to voting…

And no, I’m not plugging any particular party!

No. 1 – What parents say you should vote can be a good or a bad thing!

Ok, so my parents are pretty cool, if not totally up to date on what my activities are all the time. [Love you!] They’re staunch Liberal supporters, have been for as long as I can remember. But I figure, for those of you with parents of middle age, they might actually know what they’re talking about. So go and ask them!

No. 2 – Don’t believe all those ads on tv!
I really am quite sick of those workplace ads. Once was good enough. I figure that the labour party will always attack the Liberal Party, so they’re not the most unbiased people anyways. And Liberals will attack labour. The Greens…well its safe to say that they’ll just attack anyone to get their point across.

No. 3 – You’ll never, never know unless you never, ever ask!
Once in a while, get yourself down to the local polly office and ask them for some information, what they think about these laws. And don’t just ask one party, go for them all!

No. 4 – The Web = Power!
The internet is soooo awesome! Go check out Youtube for embarrassing videos of pollys caught with their pants down – not literally of course. Although, I do wonder sometimes…

No. 5 – Question Time equals hilarity
ABC, around 1pm. Tape it! Your best chance to watch sensible old people turn into ghastly animals and swear a lot. Much better than Funniest Home Videos. Warning – some viewers may experience extreme boredom.

No. 6 – Vote how you want!
Finally, ignore everyone and go with your gut!

So there you go….


Oh, and stay away from the Today Tonight and ACA news polls. They’re incredibly
biased!!!
