# Are they talking about interest rates?
That was what won the Libs the election over here...

Everyone was terrified that if Labour got in, the interest rates would soar, despite the Reserve Bank of Australia saying that there would be no difference.

The problem with compulsory voting, of course, is that most people don't even know what the Reserve Bank of Australia do.

# I agree with compulsory voting
but only if there's a Brewster's Millions style 'None Of The Above' box you can tick to register your contempt for all the candidates.



Surely the Reserve Bank takes over if the main bank gets injured or something?

# I know plenty of people that voted Jedi...




edit: the Reserve Bank quotes the interest rates, among other things.

# And unfortunately,
Australia is full of people that get their election opinions from adverts on the TV.

I can only hope that most Brits are more discerning about where their information comes from.

# I've been reading that.
Being in another country, I'm able to laugh at how fucked up that is...

Mind you, it really is quite fucked up.
