Australia goes to the polls this Saturday to vote for the next federal government. It is an important democratic right and vital to ensure the people get the government they deserve. Nobody should be in any doubt as to my thoughts on this election, but should you still be wavering as to where to place your vote, this site http://howshouldivote.com.au can help you make up your mind. This is just for Australian readers of this blog, you fortunate folk who live offshore and thus have been not bombarded with mountains of promises, sound bites and crappy rhetoric from our likely candidates can let November 24 float past you in a blur. We cannot. Compulsory voting means every Australian must vote or find themselves fined for not exercising their democratic right. Don't you just love democracy?

Hi Owen
Thanks for the election info. I just love Australian politics. This year we're having Thanksgiving on Saturday night and watching the election results. I'm sure you could go to town with something on that???? Let's hope the old turkey goes out, and we'll let a new turkey come in!!!
My love,
Debbie Blencowe
