PunchyP's election coverage...the #debate or lack there of

Sorry delayed reaction...was waiting for something interesting to be discussed but has not happened so far.

Had nothing to say about #debate from last Sunday and still don't really. Found it utterly boring on both sides
and if it wasn't for the #greens I would be lost for who to vote for. It was full of deceitful games, side-stepping and racial slurs. There
was no mention of traditional debate topics or critical election campaign issues such as Education, Health or god forbid the
Environment (which apparently the corporate honcho's still have free reign of.)

Both of their persona's (#abbutt and #spillard) are unappealing to me and it's a sad day when you choose a PM from the list of who you despise slightly less.

The day after the debate, I did however have a concerning discussion with some gen Why's? when I suggested we do our horror animation on political leaders in our present and past, however  they responded with "I don't know anything about politics, have no opinion on it and wouldn't have anything to say"... which 3 weeks out of a Federal Election obviously left me a little bewildered.  I was marching in anti-war rallies in first year uni and knew every economic policy of current and past political leaders in Australia through high school economics (and due to my teen crush on Keating and my economics teacher who lived next door to Keating's brother - however the point remains the same!)

Thus, I'm a bit concerned that there will be more donkey votes and racism induced voting in the next election to really justify any pre-election discussions from me at this point. I might instead pack my bags for Spain and leave the Gen Y's or as I say the Gen WTF's and the racists to their own demise in Australia. It's a scary time in politics and society in general at the moment. I hope some intelligent and humanitarian #debates can occur soon prior to #ausvotes

Need I remind you of the horror of the PM these people chose only a few short years ago? If so, please remind yourselves http://raws.adc.rmit.edu.au/~s3087922/portfolio/
