The election… and other things
Robin is awesome. There done. Happy?
Now on to the more ‘pressing’ issues of the past week. The election. It looks like a sort of a new era for Australian politics. John Howard, the Prime Minister I am so accustomed to seeing on the television since my childhood days, a figure I always imagined to hold his spot was soundly beaten and became the second Prime Minister ever to lose his own electoral seat…
Since I am not really working full-time or have children or anything like that, the election seriously doesn’t affect me all that much. It will just mean a new face on the news, a new voice coming from the television and ‘Another chapter in the textbook’ as one of my friends put it. A blank congratulations to Kevin Rudd and Labour from myself… and a solemn wave of goodbye to John Howard.
Come next election, I will be voting… 2011. Still quite meaningless but I definitely won’t Donkey vote.
And speaking of elections, recently we had an SRC election. Several student candidates going up and having themselves present a speech. Four preferences were then selected by the student body, with the SRC member getting the most votes turning out to be a guy who wasn’t even running.
‘Marcus’ received over eighty votes. Including one from me. But he didn’t become an SRC member. Unfortunate the way we take this so jolivally.
Another occurrence this week was my mum and sister leaving for Singapore yesterday. I sleepily waved them goodbye along with a hug at about 5:30 AM. They’ll be staying there for a month. I am quite happy about it, lots of freedom to do whatever I want over the month of December.
Musically, alot of stuff has happened too. I’ll elaborate on that in a future post.
Anyway I should get to a couple of games of C&C3.
Goodbye for now.
