[plug] [OT] Ferral Politics

[Aunty Jack]

Hi you guys.
here's the latest little thing you can do at the elections tomorrow . . .

Many Australians are outraged at the current treatment of boat people as 
highlighted during the 'MV Tampa' incident.
As a protest, for the attention of ALL parties (not just the Government), we 
are asking that everyone who is concerned at the current policies:

        WRITE "TAMPA" ACROSS THE TOP OF THE BALLOT PAPER ON ELECTION DAY.

        DO NOT OBSCURE ANY OF THE BOXES RECORDING YOUR VOTE. 

So long as this is done, the extra word will NOT invalidate your vote (this 
has been checked with Paul Dacey, Deputy Electoral Commissioner, and Leith 
checked with the WA EC and they agreed). The protest will be noted by the 
scrutineers for all parties and we hope it will influence all parties - 
government or oppositions - to change the current situation.

PLEASE SHOW YOUR CONCERN ON ELECTION DAY, AND SEND A MESSAGE.

Please pass this on !!!
