we're still a lucky country

One thing I want to say at this time.

No matter how bad things can seem in Australia at least we get a choice every 3 yrs (4 in the states) on who runs the show.

Watching the news lately and seeing the unrest and killings going on in the Middle East & Arab countries makes me very appreciative of living in Australia.

And never forget the sacrifice that so many people from this country made to defend our freedom and our country.

And the people who pioneered the land and did it tough, to make our country what it is today.

Australia - We really are the lucky people in the lucky country. Most people are still doing their best and making a go of it. And there are opportunities for nearly all of us to improve our lot, if we're willing to put in the effort.

Vote wisely, for your vote is a precious thing. Blood has been spilt to ensure we can vote freely and fairly.

Our liberty, freedom and way of life is also precious.

Do not let it go for anyone or anything.
