I remember years ago seeing some very ragged writing on a wall in Carlton Melbourne: "do you think they would let us vote if it really made any difference?" Oh dear. I almost danced in the pub when I heard that John Howard was FLATTENED. I don't care what happens to him - he's got lots of money and is gonna be okay. Not many working people, asylum seekers, Indigenous people, etc. can say that. Just hope Rudd doesn't betray our trust. He is a bloody politician after all.
