E-Day
The lacklustre approach of the major parties to Australia's future suggests this election won't deliver any better outcomes for the country.
We have so many unnecessary rules and regulations because we've abandoned the concepts of personal responsibility and using common sense.
It's often not wise to admit to breaking the law - even well after the fact - but some offences are worth the risk.
