24th November 2007 was our Australian election day. It is a law/requirement for all Australian to vote, or else $50 dollar fine will be implied to those who didn’t vote. I guess the fine was there to urge Australian to be responsible to choose who their leader be for the next 4 years. I mean look at the state, when there’s no law on voting, they get Bush (opps).
Anyway, I got my sources (*wink wink) that my name was recorded into the data base this year. So, for me not get the 50 dollar fine, I have to vote this year. To be honest with you, I am really not into politics, and I couldn't’t care less about voting. I dragged my self on a Saturday morning, bought a cup of coffee and went to vote.
Upon arrival to the voting venue, posters were everywhere to promote their campaign.
Flyers were handed out to further promote particular parties
People were "busy" voting
Even Batman came to vote too
Here's my voting poll. Thank goodness for the coffee!
Result came in the following night.
