Voting in Australia is compulsory for everyone over 18, I always felt like it was a chore to go vote, but I can assure you – next voting day will be one I look forward to. It warms my heart to think that we can all still smile when morale is so low – can you imagine what we’d be like if none of this was going on? Despite what we’re all going through, you still think we’re a happy people.

I mean I could go on for days, but it’s just too depressing what our government is doing to our great country. His government’s tough stance on young Australians mean that pretty soon we’ll have a rapid rise in homeless, destitute youth because they can’t get welfare anymore – their popular rebuttal of “they should just get a job” demonstrates how out of touch they are – there has to be jobs to “get”, and now that they have deregulated University prices, the market will be even more flooded because people can’t afford to go to University anymore, which will, in turn, create skill shortages. He’s gutted the budget of the CSIRO, who were doing very important and relevant scientific work and experiments on the world stage, and really demonstrating that Australia has a lot to off the science community. Antarctica melting is a pretty big clue there. You know, despite all the evidence saying otherwise. Australia is the laughing stock of the scientific community now, because the Abbott government has repealed the carbon tax, and similarly scrapped other environmental protections put in place by previous governments because, apparently, he doesn’t think our environment is important enough to worry about, and he denies global warming is a ‘thing’. Our Prime Minister is consistently embarrassing us with his archaic, sexist and overly religious approach to politics on the world stage. Forestry Tasmania and the Greens were both very happy with the plan they already had in place, born after years and years of back and forth and negotiations.

Both sins, that in my book, are unforgivable. Adam, you said everyone down here in Australia seems really happy, and I guess we do have a lot to be happy about: healthcare, lots of space, tight firearm laws so there’s very low murder rates (comparatively).īut here’s the thing: I find that surprising, because our country’s morale is at an all time low with the current Abbott government, supporting big business – to the point of there are or were plans to log Tasmania’s beautiful and ancient old growth forest, and destroying one of the natural wonders of the world – the Great Barrier Reef with dredging.
