Did the voting krap this morning and came face to face with why we get the politicians we deserve. This year, every voter received a letter in the mail, with a tear out section with their name that they could hand over to the polling officer to make the name search easier, and the letter advised exactly what district they had to vote in and where every polling booth for that district was located.
Did that make any difference? Nope! There were still so many lost souls abjectly confused as to why they couldn't vote at this particular polling booth. Life is so difficult for some. Also, tried to pick up the Liberal voting sheet at the gate and was advised that it was illegal to hand them out until 8:00 am. Went into the school grounds and Labor and the Greens were handing out their voting sheets to all and sundry and with around 50+ people already lined up to vote, had been issuing them for some time. Surprise, surprise!
Cheers
