Every time those brown-bags-of-cash receivers at the IPA pontificate that compulsory voting is oppressive, once we finish laughing at them, we can all remember that at least its illegal to prevent us from voting. Not just wink-wink illegal like deceptive signage; really illegal.

tWM has submitted a meal request. “The one we had a few weeks ago. It had stuff in it.”

I mean I’m not a big fan of Tony Burke, or the ALP in general, but props for writing a letter that is basically “Dude, you are so full of shit.” https://twitter.com/danielhurstbne/status/1293362873737940992
