Well, we had an election over the weekend. It rained – a lot. We did our democratic duty and ate sausages cooked as an opportunistic fund raiser for something or rather.
It seemed an underwhelming day and I’m in two minds about the result. I can’t say I’m surprised by it. It seemed like there were enough things out there that really annoying people, combined with shirty ‘give the other bloke’ a go’-ness, that it was an near impossible task for the ALP to win another term.
Having a political week writing wise was interesting week too. Looking at the policies and talking to the various parties about what they think is important at the moment. I was disappointed that the stuff I personally think really matters most was almost entirely off the agenda until 48 hrs beforehand, so it got no traction or discussion.
