With a federal election on the go there has been considerable discussion on why people should vote for one or another of the parties based on their stated platforms, and they were tasked with developing a presentation on why they think people should vote a particular way on October 14th - my daughter, bless her heart, stood up and asked to be allowed to deliver her presentation based on why people shouldn’t vote for any of them.]]></description>
