bantha_fodderThis post is not about fandom at all! It is probably full of things that are only of interest to people who live in Australia/are Australian, and I am sorry, a little bit, but the first thing is hilarious and the rest of it is important, so you will have to indulge me.
ONE: DOWNLOADING DEPRECIATES COPYRIGHT SOMEWHAT
The Sydney University Law Review created parodies of the lame 'piracy is wrong' ads we get in movies and on dvds. The parodies are hysterical, and I am embedding them in this post for ease of viewing:
Downloading Depreciates Copyright Somewhat:
You Wouldn't Invade Poland:
Piracy is Cool:
TWO: Kevin07:
Possyms Politics talks about current patterns in polling, and the difference between last year when Kimbo lost leadership and the months after Kevin succeeded him are astounding. Really interesting analysis.
THREE: Closing of the Rolls:
As you may recall, the closing of the electoral rolls now occurs at 20:00 on the day the election is called. This means you need to check your enrollment before the election is called, not use it as a reminder. Use this post as a reminder instead.
Also, Section 101 (7) of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 says that once a person gives the AEC a completed enrollment form, that person cannot be prosecuted for not being enrolled, no matter how long they have been in breach of the law. Which is very interesting. Also not an excuse for not being enrolled, it's illegal and you can check your enrollment here

Ok, I felt so sacrilegious giggling over pictures of the Nazi camps. But I consoled myself with the "over-the-top examples" at the end.
