Our country doesn't need weeping for, it needs a kick up the arse.
Get angry and do stuff.
Sign petitions. Provide links for others to do the same - here, I'll start.

Help in other ways. http://www.asrc.org.au/get-involved/
Standing around wringing your hands saying how terrible it all is is all very well, but it's much more productive to give people an opportunity to help with links to even the simple stuff.

Good on you!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised they let you weep for your country at all!
It's not a part of the portfolio I work for so I can, within limits, comment publicly (and do, although my brother felt I went too far with one blog post a few months back).
ReplyDeleteOf course if I was still at the AEC I'd have to be (publicly at least) completely non-political.
Once again, I'm amazed that there's any latitude at all.
