Saturday November 27th: Very few posters up around Melbourne-plenty of virginal lamp posts! The polling booth that i visited was in Footscray West Primary School. There were parents selling cakes and plants outside the school and they also had a sausage sizzle. They had a ready made customer base as in Australia you are fined if you do not vote so they have a 99.9% turnout. $4 for bacon and egg roll. $2 for sausage and bread. 50 c for onion. I had a very nice bacon and egg role. Then Cheryl and Matt took me on a tour of the school. I saw magnificent native garden and veggies and fruit. There was an astro turf play area for preppies and of course a massive big extension under the BER. met Brendan the principal who was working in the office on a Saturday morning.
