become more politically aware

While I haven’t been reading too much about the upcoming election, I have been paying more attention to things, and makng an effort to find out about stuff that I don’t necessarily understand.

For instance, I now know how my vote will be best utilised in my local electorate and how my preferences will work in the upper house. It is quite a good feeling knowing you will turn up to the ballot box with clear reasons as to why you are voting a particular way.

I am in John Howard’s local electorate, and very excited about having the opportunity to oust him there!
