Compulsory State Elections Voting

so today was yet another historic first in my life, like virgininty, it is something you can never get back LOL..... you may have guessed what i am talking about- yes voting!!!!! today i pre-polled which means tha i voted in a state election for the first time and also pre-polled for the first time!!! yay! i am a humble patron of the davenport electorate;

so anyway the candidates were;

Gerry Bowen -Australian Labor Party
Iain Evans - Liberal Party
Toni Howard - Family First Party
Bridgid Medder - Australian Democrats
Adrian Miller - Australian Greens

so understandably it went labor, greens(its a token effort), liberal(better than democrats), democrats(they are better than family first), family first(ew, to quote the Flinders University Labor Leftist CLub- "keep your rosaries off my ovaries!")


as for the upper house, i was at odds if i should put a 1 above the line or number every box below the line so i decided that becuase i wasnt sure of the preferences of Nick Xenophon's No Pokies Independent Party, i would number the 54 boxes... so i did the No Pokies bros first ( yes fi and adam this is ironic due to my forced gambling habit!) and labor, etc etc....then towards the bottom i put the Legalise Marijuana Party, Family First and lastly the heinous One Nation bastards who are kidding themselves if they think they can get elected!

well anyhoo that was the most exciting thing i have done all week i think... i hope all you 18+ exchange students have remembered to do postal votes!!!! every voice counts n'est pas???? and i hope everyone who is 18+ before march 18th is enrolled to vote!!! if not that is crap! oh well

adieu mes amies
