I don't find Australian politics to be the most intriguing as I don't think we are that significant on the international stage. Still I was quite tuned into this year's election especially as I turned 18 just prior to that so I got to vote. I was actually in a part of the live studio audience of the pre-election episdoe of QandA with Richard Di Natale, Tanya Plibersek, and Simon Birmingham, which was quite interesting to watch.
In terms of political views I don't think it's bad that you don't have firmly established viewpoints. Generally those are the people who are so caught up in their own thoughts they refuse to listen to what others have to say, and I think that is dangerous. No matter what your views are, you must always be open to opposition, otherwise you can never grow.
Partly because we burn through Prime Ministers faster than anything.
I think I saw somewhere that the last time we had a PM who served a full term, the iPhone hasn't been invented.
