I feel that everyone should be more generous with their understanding and not delve too much into semantics. Personally, I really don't give a toss which way it goes. Strikes me as a completely irrelevant action designed to split the country. I'd boycott it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it was continuing the theme of sausages. On the subject of which, for the first time ever there was no sausage sizzle at the polling station when I went to vote in last year's Federal election, so I've registered for a postal vote this time. What's the point of turning up in person if you're not going to get a democracy sausage?! Australian Citizen since 2007 | Returned to the UK 2008-2011 | Lived in Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns.

Parley 7,921 Posted October 2 There is a lot of chatter that Jacinta Price will be Australia's next Prime Minister. And our first indigenous PM. She certainly is very impressive. 1 Buy a man eat fish. The Day, Teach Man, to lifetime. - Joe Biden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
