Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ On Channel 7's Weekend Sunrise, within the election hype, the deaths of two Australian troops at 10:30am yesterday, Afghanistan time, was announced.
Twenty Australian lives have now been lost there.

Passing Thoughts #4 ~ Election Detour
~
Election Day may be the prime interest
In some minds
But in other worlds
Life and death struggles
Never wait in
A time frame

NOTES: Labour lady = Julia Gillard (first female PM) who ousted Prime Minister Kevin Rudd (His nephew Van Rudd is standing for the Revolutionary Socialist Party)
Liberal man = Tony Abbott
The Greens headed by Bob Brown

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

I'm listening now to early counting in this election on Saturday night, and my anxiety is soaring.
I know it's not commensurate to life and death issues, but still it matters.
Thanks though for this reminder of what matters more.
