To all you politicians out there...
Congratulations on your tireless hand-shaking, smiling, waving, criticism of each other and status quo-ing. Thanks for listening to all the polls - yes all those ones that change from moment to moment depending on Julia's oufit or Tony's budgie-smugglers.
Well. Australia has voted, and we are all decidedly uninspired. Informal votes are up. Sticking to our convictions is down. Compassion, generosity, being known for deeply held principle - apparently that is just so last century. Weather-vane politics is in.
I'm afraid we are going to get the government we deserve, having created this poll-driven, fickle monster with our own self-absorption.
PS (ignore this parochial, bitter rant if you don't live in south western sydney...). I wish I had written 'Chris Hayes' and numbered his box 1 on my green ballot paper. Who said you could shift him to Fowler, ALP? We liked him here in Werriwa! (Yes channel 7 you didn't have typo on screen you just had no idea about what was going on in individual electorates!)

Yep. Your turn to put my thoughts into words!...
Goodness, what power lies in your words.
Delighted to meet you today. I hope you don't mind if I splash around a bit to get to know you. This looks like a delightful place to slip off my shoes and get soaked in goodness.
Splashin,
Sara
