Election blurb

3 weeks until I get home :) I cannot wait!

On Monday the mobile voting people came out to Milingimbi so that us remote plebs could have a say about the election, with them came the usual entourage of people to hand out the usual political propaganda to try and sway your opinion at the last moment. It was as I walk toward the now defunct CDEP (community development employment project - similar yet vastly different to work for the dole.. less punitive) building that I encountered the first of this propaganda pushers.

I looked at what she was handing out with an appropriately moderate amount of curiosity when the following exchange ensued.

Pamphlet person: "You a teacher?"
Me: "Yes"
Pamphlet person: "Then you wont want one of these."
(and walked away from me..)

I would like to point out that the party in question was the liberals..

-shrugs- at least they know the demography that they have failed to target/threaten with their scare campaigning..

Enjoy the election tonight. :)
(I shall be trying to avoid watching it... though since my continued failure in getting my austar working.. the satellite dish works now by the way.. but the box needs to be replaced... -grrr- I doubt i will succeed so i might admit defeat and go to Jill's place to watch it as a group 'yay')
