Don’t forget!
Today is Election Day!
Utilize your right to vote to impact who serves in elected office, how tax dollars are spent, and what becomes law in your city, town and state.
This freedom is important, but only if you exercise it ๐

๐ถ Sweet home Australia,
where the politicians are kept mostly honest ๐ค
Mainly by a free and diverse press,
and the occasional protest โ

Didn’t Australia just pass a whistle blower Bill – a law limiting freedom of the press? I know that police have raided journalistsโ offices and homes, trawled phone network metadata, tried to access travel records and kept open the threat of prosecution for publishing leaked official documents. Even less chance of keeping the politicians honest.

Yes, but all paper tiger measures
in the face of a protest backlash.
We do have a rebellious streak in
Australia, that goes back to the
Eureka Stockade, that will not be
suppressed … for long.

Good luck with the rebellion. We must stand up for our beliefs.
