Yeah, im pretty sad about the senate situation too. They can pass whatever they want. The rise of that new right wing religious party has come as a shock aswell. Its always been my opinion that religion and politics shouldnt be mixed. On sunday after the election a part of me felt like 'sucked in low income australia'. Im from the seat of Lindsay, one of the lowest socio economic areas in western sydney, yet somehow labor heartland has become red neck paradise. A recent poll revealed that in the whole of Australia, its my seat that is most in fear of terrorist invaders. Its really absurd seeing as where i live. I do a bit of casual teaching at the state schools in my area, and some of them are like ghettos. Yet still the constitiuants in my area opted for the party that wants to continue gov funding to those elite private schools who already have 3 swimming pools and manicured ovals. Anyway, lets hope things go ok.
