Voting Day in Australia
After a rainy day yesterday, today is fine and dry. The sun is shining and temperature is about 22-23 degrees in Brisbane.
David and I went to do the grandparent 'thing', cheering grandson Jaeden's rugby team at Bayside (30 minutes)from home. It was an enjoyable game even though only five of the team could make it to the field.
We passed several polling booths on the way back home via our local booth. The atmosphere was very peaceful, calm and special. Its like a special personal moment to express oneself politically. It was done with dignity and respect for one another. The diversity of individuals stood out but all united by the common sense of citizenship of this peaceful democratic country, Australia.
Long live the democratic process. In six hours time we will know who will be the new leader for the nation. Meanwhile, peace prevail around the nation. Vi'ia le Ali'i.
