Words from a bearded hot action type guy

May or may not have been ghostwritten by someone in this picture I know i'll be moving out of Kew into Brunswick for this vote:

Hola,

I reckon it's really really important that we make
sure EVERYONE we know is enrolled to vote in the soon
to be announced Federal Election.

https://oevf.aec.gov.au/verifyenrolment.aspx

For 2 reasons-
1. Often more progressive free thinking types will not
be enrolled correctly as they move around a lot doing
cool and interesting things. Unlike conservative types
who often stay in the same place FOREVER and don't
have to worry about changing their details. So we need
ourselves and everyone we know to be enrolled
correctly so we don't get another spirit crushing 4
years of John Howard.

2. The government has changed the election rules so
that enrolment to
vote closes 'ON THE DAY THE ELECTION
IS ANNOUNCED'
. This again disadvantages those who move
around, are new to citizenship, are young etc...
people who tend to vote progressively, funnily enough.

So, if we don't get the enrolment wave going, many
will be jumped by the election announcement and unable
to vote. Crucial violation of democracy point
approaching!

So please send this site-

https://oevf.aec.gov.au/verifyenrolment.aspx

out to everyone you know, especially young people. We
CANNOT let this sneaky violation of even the tiny
vestiges of democracy that lives through the election
cut us off from voting for something new and decent in
our mixed up land.

Rant over, happy enrolling,
K
