Australia changed it's government yesterday.

Australia had an election yesterday and kicked out the conservative government. It was so boring. There were no riots, no insurrection and almost everyone voted. The outgoing prime Minister gave a dignified speech conceding defeat and the new one gave a gracious speech accepting the position.
So dull... 😉

That's so wonderful! I'm jealous, 😔 I wish I lived in Australia where it's a lot more peaceful. My sister had a boyfriend from there, he took her over for a visit many years ago. She brought me back a little fuzzy koala bear, it wasn't a real one. 😊

@Peaches Its not like Australia is a perfect place to live..We have things to complain about and we do.. Just when we complain the government listens or gets thrown out. And in this case both sides have been put on notice. And sadly most of those fuzzy koalas are made in China. My son was lucky enough to have a school "camp" in Nanjing while in secondary school and like all the kids we looked out souveniers for him to present as gifts. I thought it really tasteless to send back things made there , so ended up with some local bears, made of (of all things ) Kangaroos skin. Koalas are of course protected. Kangaroos are pet food.😷
