    “Voting in Australia is like a party," one reader wrote. "There’s a BBQ at the local school. Everyone turns up. Everyone votes. There’s a sense that: We’re all in this together. We’re all affected by the decision we make today.”https://nyti.ms/2EEVdlj

        It's not as big of a deal as it seems. We don't vote for the PM we vote for the party. Still frustrating as hell though.

        We’ve also had 7 prime ministers in 11 years. So there’s that.

        But we don’t get one when they change leaders without an election - proof if ever it were needed that what they do is not democratic! 😂

        True. If there is no sausage, there is no democracy.

        Australian Democracy is a standard and a way of life a western Power like America should mimic. America has fought hard for 200 years for freedom. So why give away what could be rights such as universal healthcare? Get to the Polls America and VOTE FOR YOUR RIGHTS😀

        That and we get fined if we don't. 😉 Seriously, it is like a school festival (a lot of booths are at schools) and it's never taken me longer then an hour to vote.

        "BBQ sauce is basically just spicy ketchup, which means BBQ sauce is often vegan. The most common animal-based ingredient you'll want to watch out for when buying BBQ sauce is honey." Now I have this weird craving for BBQ sauce & I've never even had it before lol #veganlifestyle

        A lot people in the service industry have work on the weekends. And we are never going to require anyone to pay someone, even if it’s a national holiday (lots of hourly workers do not get paid federal holidays). I’m all for it if we want to make sure that people are paid.

        If you’re in the service sector, weekends. The very people we want to vote! I’m a lot more in favor of mail-in ballots or online voting. And make no mistake, I treat voting as a party here. We take off work and school. But we have the income that it doesn’t hurt us financially.
