I've done my duty in the Tropical Soup 🫡 things are far more streamlined here because we're lucky to have any kind of opposition at all in the first place, and there's only one house in the government, and it's just FPTP without preferential voting... Got in and out in about 3.5 minutes and used an inked stamp to press X on one of two boxes.
I wish I could vote in Australia but that likely won't happen until my mum passes away and I can finally let go of my original citizenship. So for now I will live vicariously through everyone else - and have to tolerate 7 hours of uncertainty on the flight that leaves just as polls close 😭
