Australia Votes - 21st May, 2022

Long lines of posters span the hedge ...

Do TV pollsters have the edge?

Leaflets flutter at the feet

Of Adelaideans who now meet

 

To cast their vote this Saturday

Will Blue, or Red-and-Green, hold sway?

Six-week campaign draws to a close

With all the hopefuls on their toes…

 

Every State boasts media hype,

What will convince, come voting night?

Top candidates clock up air miles

To greet Oz punters with sharp smiles!

 

Will voters opt for status quo

Or will the Liberals have to go?

“Time for change, we have new plans.

The economy needs Labor’s hands!”

 

Can independents now break through?

The Greens push climate change anew…

With age and child care costs too high

Many now can scarce get by …

 

Housing and wages should increase

And should coal mining projects cease?

The jury’s out – we lie in wait

For this evening’s fierce debate!
