IT'S RABBIT PIE DAY! SO RUN RABBIT RUN....
A new study into youth voting has found that if voting was not compulsory in Australia, only half of young people would take part.
But in reality they all should just vote informal and get a divorce from federalism.
At the moment, the youth voting rate is about 85 per cent.
That means we have much work to do to convince those voters to vote informal.
University of Sydney researcher Murray Print says many young people feel they do not understand the political process.
"They're certainly disillusioned with the political process that's evident in Australia today, they're disillusioned with political parties and they're disillusioned with politicians," he said.
Not just them either!
If federal bribes, corporate media and greed can compel some people to vote for a war criminal then they ought to be very disillusioned and feel that they are being taken for the ride of their life!
The Government has flagged changes to electoral procedures once it has control of the Senate.
It can get a lot worse!
