Tuesdays are my day off. (Victoria)
Sitting in my room convincing myself that now I’ve finished season to of Torchwood and my make-up and had lunch that I’ll finally get around to my English assignment and I can hear the march down Swanston.
The thing is, I’m just over Australian politics. I remember this close to the last US election I was aware of Obama and Romney’s policies, who I would choose and was adept at navigating their campaign websites. I try to do the same here and there is just nothing that adequately persuades me towards any party.
It doesn’t help that my seat is a Green’s seat still leaning Green and I grew up in an agricultural community (and family) that put up anti-Greens signs. Don’t get me wrong, I in no way believe that I have to follow my family politically, I’m perfectly capable of making my own decisions, but I still understand things from a farming perspective.
And protests just never interested me.
I’m not even sure if there was a solid point to this other than #auspol is silly.
I know what you mean about politics getting frustrating lately! But it’s exciting actually being able to vote for once and not just sit back and watch it
