I guess it's all the more reason why young people who reached the legal adult age should get involved in politics. When I was young, I did not, and we got Bush (senior). Of course, the recent time that I got involved, we still got Bush (junior). LOL.
Kidding aside, your government should have handled the refugee crisis better. At least you guys should have learned from the US with regards to the thousands of Cuban refugees. (Or was it Haitian?) Some of the time, we handled it right (which your government should take note), and some of the times we handled it wrong (which your government should also take note).
One thing for sure, your government better do something about their reputation. Because right now, despite the Olympic, their image does not look good in the global community.
But I would not hold it against the Autralian citizens. I am just sad and disappointed that the majority supports the current government and its policies.

Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...
