I did it!!!

Just a quick note to say I voted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, how highly surprising.
And then I watched the election coverage, where they tried to act like it wasn't a foregone conclusion. An exciting first election, eh?
Aaaand now, I finish posting. When there's something else to say, worth saying, I'll say it. Can't allow myself to be just a self obsessed blogger rambling about #1 ... not all the time, anyway!

My democratic perogative (isn't to spell poorly...)

So, State Election on Saturday.

Who's excited???????

Well, to be honest, not many people. Maybe Pete Adcock, because he's in the Young , er, Liberals.

But it's not much to jump around about, is it?

State politics is a thankless task. Get it right and everyone uses your precision hospitals, schools and buses without a word of thanks. Get it wrong and Quentin Dempster makes you feel a bit silly on Stateline. So hardly high praise or infamous glory.

Mind you, this time water is on the agenda and that's important. As are transport (including student cards, yes yes!) and health and education. They aren't moviestars like international peace or global warming (and I suppose exchange and interest rates matter to a lot of people too) but they make quite a difference to my life.

So, to wrap up this blather,

That's right, my own little poster. Because even voting in local council elections, which few of us seem to understand or care about anyway, we are exercising right which people fought for, died for and to this day, die without.

Goodness gracious, if I hear another girl say she's not interested in voting or is going to donkey vote (and who's the donkey then?) I'll throw her under the king's horse! For those who don't know their early 20th century history, type "suffragette" into a search engine. Or look in one of those book thingies.

So don't be bored with voting!

The current Premier certainly isn't!

. . . or maybe he's just about to sneeze
