They have to be Joking, page-4

"A 19-year-old student could become the first ALP member for Brighton in a landslide victory across the board for Labor."

"so, what does it say about the people that voted for him"


It says that people are exercising democracy

It says that people are exercising freedom

It says that people are long gone on the idea of conservatism

It says that the vast majority of people think that a 19 year old might be able to handle the future more so than a 90 year old

It says that people know there is huge change afoot and that they do NOT want attempts to return to 1950


It says that even if a limited life experienced 19 year old did stuff it up - the facts are the facts - that now and the near future are going to need new blood and new thinking that's ALREADY OUT THERE - and that our conservative slow moving politicians and right wingers are the only one's who don't realise it


It's a call to prepare for the future - not return to the past.
