To fellow pleasure horse enthusiasts,

This Saturday we have a Federal Election.
Now I would like to state before anything else that I do not share any
allegiance to any party large or small.
However I would like you to consider before you vote these few things.
No matter whether you vote for the coalition party of Howard and the
Nationals. Or you vote for Kevin 07 the Labor party.
Regardless of that one of these two will be in power come next Sunday. That
is a given. Unless one of the minor parties has done polling no-one knows about.
Choosing an independent or minor party who has their preferences directed
to the major party you may have been going to vote for is your best choice.
If the candidate does not get up then your preferences will still flow on to
the major party of your choice, And they will still get a major shock at the
numbers involved when votes are tallied.
Consider voting for a strong independent a green or a minor party first.
Neither of the major parties has made any clear or otherwise announcements
regarding funding and or significant assistance towards the pleasure horse
industry.
Neither party has declared that they will not continue to ignore you over
the thoroughbred industry.
They have in fact ignored our plight along with sate Governments since the
onset of this insidious viral outbreak and continue to do so. Only to listen
to racing industry and continue to sink your industry and into even more
despair, further away from the spotlight, an industry that is much bigger
than the racing industry.
If you intend not to vote or vote informal that is your right.
If you intend to vote and write a protest on ballot paper your vote won't be
counted. Wasted.
Let's face it who really trusts politicians anyway.
Show them we have a voice by collective voting for minor parties and give
the balance of power and a voice. And if possible let candidates know why
you voted them in.
It was said when the Keating Government was unceremoniously dumped from
power that the voters came with base ball bats.
We need to show we have something more substantial. And are prepared to use
it.
It is up to you.
Good luck

What a brilliant idea.

I only learned today that to write anything on the form negates your vote.

as for voting informal that does nothing.

wonder how many will be game to follow your advice, count me in.
