Australians right across the country are casting their votes today, as polling booths in every states and territory open for the federal election.... Alam ko na hindi nyo alam pinagsasatsat ko ngayon dito at hindi nyo rin kilala kung sino-sino tong mga unggoy na to sa pictures unless na sinusubaybayan nyo talaga ang politika namin dito sa downunder he-he....! This is a big day because we are going to decide who the future leader of the country is going to be.... Just like the election for president dyan sa pinas pero hindi nga lang kasing gulo.... Australia is about the size of america but we only have less than 20 million population dito....
I just want to give you a slight taste of our politics here in downunder because today i'm going to cast my first vote for the 2007 Federal Election.... Any moment from now ay malalaman na kung sino nga ba sa mga Prime Ministerial candidates na to ang syang tatanghaling kampyon....
This is my first time to vote in a federal election and also my first to vote in Parramatta City kasi nun sa Merrylands na suburb ako nakatira kung kaya dun din ang polling station ko.... Hindi ko rin alam kung saang polling area ako kasi nung nag-check ako kanina sa net ay madami palang polling stations tong parramatta kaya medyo dapat agahan ko ngayon just in case na wala ang pangalan ko dun sa ibang polling areas para mahanap ko dun sa iba pa ng masmaaga.... By the way, the picture inset are the candidates for prime ministerial position except the person in the middle....
JOHN HOWARD - If you've heard of him ,he's the current prime minister of australia.... He's been serving australians for 11 long years now.... He's a winner of numerous federal elections and people seems to find it hard to let go of him.... But they said that he's a liar too, a mister empty promises to some, to apologise is not his cup of tea, and interest rates and things such as house prices are rising during his terms.... He's also a friend of George Bush during the war in Iraq, in short, tuta....! Sadly, if he wins this election again, at some point in time (estimates is within 8 months only) he will retire and pass the seat to his trusted treasurer Peter Costello.... No good....!
PETER COSTELLO - The treasurer, australias second big man, and the future successor of Mr. Howard.... He said that Howard promised him the seat before.... People said, let's see about that mr. treasurer....! He really thought that he could get away with the throne that easily without even competing with Kevin Rudd in the candidacy.... But put it this way, kung halimbawa tumakbo man sya for prime minister, wala namang magtitiwalang magbigay ng boto nila sa kanya....! So bakit nila hahayaang manalo si Howard at ipapasa lang pala ang pagka-prime ministro kay Costello pagkatapos di ba....? Wrong move Howard, you shouldn't have told the public about your crooked plans with Costello....!
KEVIN RUDD - Labor Party leader, not so experienced but has a lot of positive plans, he can speak mandarin while John Howard can only eat mandarins....! The asian community said that this guy's grandfather is a chinese.... His eldest daughter married a hong kong man, and his youngest daughter's boyfreind is from mainland china.... I'm not sure if that rumor is true or not.... But then if it is a correct information, therefore i conclude that he's an asian friendly person which makes me happy as an asian too....! Some aussies said that he will bring asians to control downunder in the future.... I said, who gave them that idea....? Have you heard of the word Symbiosis before....?! Howard said, he will bring back the unions.... I said, good....! A Howard supporter said, Rudd's union leaders are racists and they hate asians in particular.... I said, what....?! Almost the majority of union members are asians as well as their soon to be champion man has something 25% or so of that blood circulating in his veins....! Are you crazy....?! Basta ako at the end of the day ay kay Kevin Rudd pa rin okay....!
At yan po ang election namin dito sa downunder.... Alam kong wala kayong naintindihan dyan sa mga pinagsusulat ko at lalong hindi nyo kilala tong mga pinag-uusapan natin he-he....! Pasensyahan nyo na lang po tong astig nyong lingkod at masyado lang na-carried away dun sa first prime ministerial poll nya....! Anyways, malalaman nyo dito kung nanalo ang kandidato ko at malalaman nyo rin kung hindi dahil tatahimik ako nun at kakalimutan ko na tong topic na to he-he....! Excuse ko lang po to for not blogging and blog-hopping today....! Anyways, i'll try to visit all your blogs tonight, yan ay kung hindi pa ako lasing sa celebration....! Joks lang, i will blog-hop later tonight after the counting....! =D
PM Election Results later here....

8:00 PM tonight,
