Democracy in action

Relationships are the most important aspect of our lives. They give it meaning and value. Friends, family, colleagues, artists, waving at the postie...

On election day, because we are blessed to live in a democracy, we have one of the most important relationships of our lives.

We as the citizenry hold the power in our ballot paper. We decide who we will hand that power over to. Power to govern us.

Alot of us barely think about it, until we are in the booth looking at the papers. "Liberal seem better this time" and mark the boxes.

Is this why Australia is where it is today?
