Well, I was disgusted to find the only political representation at my local polling booth to be Libs and Family First. Granted, many of my neighbors have bigger houses and better cars than I, and the polling booth was at a girls' private school, but for the ALP (the party I was planning to vote for) to have no volunteers harassing people with how to vote cards was unacceptable. It was almost as if they had resigned themselves to the fact they had no chance, based on the local demographic.
I raised the point with a polling booth lackey who pointed to a nearby rubbish bin and suggested I rummage through for an ALP how to vote card. I took him up on the offer and luckily found one. At this stage, I was very close to leaving in protest and voting where I usually do - the local public primary school where there has been no shortage of ALP volunteers in previous election.
Later, I drove my girl out to a sleep over and made a point of stopping at aforementioned primary school to express my dissatisfaction at the slackness of the ALP at my closest booth. They said they'd had problems getting volunteers. Meh. I still voted for them, anyway.
