The new voter register
As we seemingly continue to show national disinterest in registering to exercise our most valuable Constitutional power, I refer to the Parliamentary Act, and wonder was there a serious mistake in the process?
Wrong on Majority Rule Day
Talking fool is a very serious thing.
Straight answers
