Just as well I have a sense of humour Polks - do you expect to vote differently once you are "old"? Many of us have not only grown wiser, we have also grown a trifle cynical. We have seen it all too many times before - the same people making the same mistakes and breaking the same promises, on both sides of politics .It's like the pendulum on a perpetual motion machine and through it all people are born, grow up,marry, beget children and die in exactly the same way they always have. The country survives, despite the politicians and the population grits its teeth and gets on with the business of living.

Usually polks, you don't have enough time left to push many boundries. That's what young people are for. Thank goodness they do.

Says it all for you then 
I am of the age that when my B'Day's come around I actually forget how old I am:)
Just to satisfy some posters' curiosity I am much younger than I look
And I certainly did not vote for LNP.
