I fulfilled my duty as a citizen and New Zealander today.
I voted. (Thanks for the reminder Fi!!)
I downloaded the voting forms and faxed of my application to the powers that be that someone, somewhere in the gods, sees sense and Our Lady Helen of the Rampant Liberals gets ousted once and for all…
Problem is the alternative is equally scary…
Sigh.
I shouldn’t be concerned anymore really should I? I mean, I don’t live there and haven’t done for almost 7 years and it is only a question of time before I take that big leap into the citizenship pool and become an Australian. I need to really, then I can vote here and actually contribute meaningfully to society (and feel qualified to complain when the need arises…)
It’s quite timely really as one of the outcomes of the Hawaiian conference was a newfound bonding with Australia and with the whole reason I am here. I really am planning to instigate proceedings to become the real deal…
Shhhhh
Don’t tell the family… I might be excommunicated
Welcome back Dee!
And good on ya for voting!
I’m looking forward to Saturday (first time for 13 years for me, how exciting) – but like you say, the candidates are like choosing between a rock and a hard place…
