71, ELECTION DAY WOES The race is on. The election date has been set. Make sure you don't tick a box then live to regret. Promises are really cheap. We deserve Prime Ministers whose promises they keep. Don't be sucked in with all the car sales talk. When you hear this, it is time to tell them to walk. Pre-election spruiking is all part of the game. They are out there trying to sell their name. There are so many political parties. It is hard to choose. There will be only one winner. The others will lose. Make sure you check their pedigree. What we want is Australia to be free. You may think a cup of coffee tax break is all you need. Just watch out while your bank account bleeds. The decision you make you'll be stuck with for years. Just watch the boxes you tick. Use a pen Make your vote stick. "Vote me" they all say promising this and promising that, Using whatever trick they can pull out of their hat. Tell them what you need are politicians who care and can lead. People of Australia deserve the best. If they can't do this say "go join the rest". Election day will come and go. Vote for a candidate you have got to know. The decisions they make will affect your life. Share this with your family and friends. Vote on the day. Make no mistake. It is time for all Australians to have a break.
