When I say politics there will be some of us that run for the hills, others that activate and join the fight and then some that want to stay neutral and invest the bare minimum. Regardless where you are at, PLEASE listen to this episode.
Wendy from ACL gives you and I some incredible insight to the effectiveness of ACL and how your voice, participation and most importantly VOTE makes a difference in Australian Politics. We discuss everything from the need for Church & State to collide, the impact of lobbying, the parental rights bill (ALL PARENTS BE AWARE!!!!) along with this upcoming federal election and how to actually vote - as in, the process and how the ballot forms work.
I can confidently say, Wendy has helped me wrap my head around Australian politics and taken away the confusion and also overwhelming hopelessness I sometimes felt around politics. Now I feel confident on how to approach this federal election and I feel empowered to vote below the line and really do my research on who gets my vote. This isn’t scary, my voice counts, and that means YOUR voice counts as well.
Please share this episode with your friends & family. Every little bit of love helps!
