The Age is declaring the nation’s fate rests with five men (two represent the areas surrounding where I grew up).
The news and social media are understandably alive this morning with post-mortems and campaign critiquing. I have seen reports of people being afraid (or outraged) that this election result might boil down to behind-the-scenes deal-making.
This air of uncertainty and perplexity, and the lack of discernible immediate future that surrounds us this morning? Do you know what it’s made me wonder?
I’m wondering if we’re experiencing but a taste of what asylum seekers feel every day.

It’s things like this weekend that point out the flaws in our election system- that we can only vote for the person in our seat, not who we want to be leader. They should have the voting option of who would you prefer for PM- Gillard or Abbott? Those would be worthwhile ballot papers.
