I guess I should get around to voting in local council elections although I really CBF. I personally think local council should be abolished, and duties transferred to a new state government department. That way all the pissy little mini contracts done by councils can all be amalgamated.

Also I need to make dinner and I am hungry, but I'm also too lazy to make it.

Well in my local elections I had a choice between a greens candidate who seemed ok if a little bland and an antivax cooker. So that made it easy.

Saw the candidate list for city of Melbourne today though. That is just BONKERS.
