The federal election is coming up and it’s time to head down to the booths and try to fix Australia!!! I was under 18 during the last federal election so I didn’t bother about enrolling. It was only until last night, 11 days before enrolment closes, that I realised I was not enrolled.

No, the government does not automatically enrol you, even though the technology is there. If you move from your electorate you must update your details. Please I can’t stress enough ow important the youth vote is in Australia. We have the power to change our government entirely, so please, even if you hate all the candidates, do not donkey vote or waste your democratic rights ‘making a stand’ by not voting. Look, if you genuinely don’t care, just pop down to your local primary school, number some boxes (ALL BOXES) and treat yourself to a Lamington. You’ve earned it kid.

this is truly an inspirational pic

2/3 voters support Labor or The Greens and yesterday I stood with Adam Bandt and Alex Bhatal at the education rally against university cuts, an issue directly affecting RMIT.

Enrolment closes at 8pm on the 23rd of May 2016.
