Your The Voice.

To all Australians that will vote this Saturday,

Don't take your democracy, and the rights afforded to you by that democracy, for granted. Make sure that when its your turn to vote on November 10, your not just numbering boxes randomly because that's the bare minimum you have to do to avoid a fine.

Make sure your not just voting for the party your Mum and Dad used to vote for, simply because thats the family tradition.

Make sure your not just voting for the party you've always voted for, simply because that is the way you've always done it.

Make sure your not being single minded about the multitude of issues that will effect Australians in the 21st century. Try not to be goaded into voting one way or another by fear and fear alone.

Remember that those that would do us harm, are only as strong as we are weak... and that strength is not made of War Ships that can tow boats full of desperate families back out to sea

Because strength is made of so much more then that. Its the consideration that we give to the social fabric that holds us together and keeps us strong. Its is our health care, our aged care, our education system, and the egalitarian principles we adhere to as we build on our national and personal wealth. Its is our ability to show compassion to those less fortunate.... whether they are Australian citizens or not.

Remember that strength is not necessarily demonstrated by an inflexible Prime Minister that can't say sorry. Remember that strength, and consequently security, can not necessarily be assured just by giving an incumbent Prime Minister another term. "Better the evil you know..." is the wrong attitude for these times.

If you remember nothing else, remember this: that it is the democratic, morally plural, principles of the free world that are under attack from terrorists. Therefore, the best way to fight back, is to treat your democracy and your vote, with extra respect and consideration. Not to vote with fear and trepidation, but to vote with pride and consideration. Not for a leader that offers security through maintaining the status quo, but one that offers the security that comes with strength through innovative social policy and a forward thinking passionate approach to Australia's future.

When you drop your paper into the ballot box, imagine to yourself that the ballot paper in your hands is like a bomb. If you make it count, if you make sure you really believe in what your voting for, then that's a small retaliation to the perpetrators of September 11. Your ballot paper becomes a small bomb dropped on the heads of terrorists the world over. If you throw away your vote with the apathy that is all too common among Australians today, then your ballot paper is just a piece of paper falling into a cardboard box. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Ok having said all of that, let me just say these things....
  1. The only major party to take a compassionate, humanitarian approach to the refugee "crisis" are the Democrats.
  2. The only Prime Ministerial candidate that is thinking and investing into the future of Australia, is Kim Beazely.
  3. John Howard is an average statesman. Kim Beazely is an average statesman. Both are equally good at sending troops to Timor and Afghanistan. Both are equally good at posing for photos with soldiers. Both are equally as good at washing their hands of refugees. When it comes to foreign policy issues, and issues of direct and immediate importance to national security, BOTH candidates are as capable as each other. Don't make the mistake of voting in this election on the basis of some perceived threat to the physical security of the nation. It is a liberal party furphy that for some reason John Howard is any better at doing what America sez, then Beazely is.
