Elections… they’re a piece of cake
One of the bonza things about living in Australia is that we have a choice come election time. There are political parties in various colours ( a bit like the Wiggles someone cheekily suggested) with different policies, different points of view and we are free to choose. Sometimes we whinge about our lot, but compared to some other nations we really do have it pretty jolly good. We vote people in and we vote people out. Sometimes they are voted out by their peers before we get a chance. It’s all a bit of hurdy gurdy but we do get to have a say and leading up to the election, people in high vis vests do seem to listen and travel a lot.
This celebration of choice happens again on Saturday May 21st. By the time you get through the line of folk who smile and give you bits of paper, then get your name crossed off and mark your ballot paper, you will probably need a bit of sustenance to take home and enjoy. That’s where our Food and Produce stall can help you out. It all happens from 9am to noon at our Parish Hall where all are very welcome on polling day.
There will be a smorgasbord of options to choose from. Chocolate is bound to be there, sponges and maybe the odd cup cake which is pretty nifty along with plants to grow and flourish.
It’s also a great way to rub shoulders with folk, swap stories and pick up a bargain or two.
Thanks to the bakers, and the folk at the polling places whose work is largely hidden but always appreciated. Elections… they’re a piece of cake.
