It's almost vote time here too, and all of a sudden, on TV, they're bringing out all the bad shit on the 2 main parties, liberal and labour.. If they want people to vote for the opposition I think we at least have the right to know what's going on through-out the year rather than the last few weeks.

You're kidding, just before the elections, and they're throwing out propoganda.

Shocking. Who would have guessed.

I wish this shit would jus hurry up and end, or they could at least start telling us about all their fuck ups through the year other than election time..

when is vote time? and how does the voting system work over there? Are you eligible to vote at 15? Also do they only have liberal or labour, or are there other parties that you can vote for?

They're voting on October 9th and yeah, the voting system does work differently. We can't vote until we're 18. There's other parties too, like Greens and Independance, just they haven't got a chance of winning. The Greens are trying to legalise bascially every illegal drug.

It's not like it really matters anyway. They aren't going to win this election. They haven't got a chance.

I believe you. Just I'm not really much into being supportive of politics and stuff.
