They will quickly realise that we will have the numbers to influence (and possibly sway) the results in a State Election; who know, perhaps we will consider standing candidates in State Elections, too…Show your support, become involved… Become a Party Member now.http://www.facebook.com/AustralianMotoringEnthusiastPartyThis is our chance to have a voice dont let it slip away!!

My brother, mother and father aren't registered voters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is against the law but isn't widely enforced by most states. NSW moved to automatic enrolment and Victoria (surprise, surprise) trialled taking people to court to force them to enrol.I like the idea of this party. Hopefully they can organize themselves well and the public can get behind them. More independents in the Senate FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They send you an invite and make it all warm and fuzzy sounding, but in the FAQ it mentions that whilst this is an invite if you don't accept then you will be issued with an instruction to supply info etc... First thing I thought of was your little incident with the census - so of course I tell them how many hours I work & sheets of paper I use on a monthly farkin basis like a good little obliging citizen. But on this topic...you ignored my suggestion on FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
