Am in a very political mood at the moment.
Am considering lobbying Nick Catania (the mayor of my council, Town of Vincent) to boycott products produced by, or by companies affiliated to, the military junta in Burma (PepsiCo and Royal Dutch/Shell are two notable examples.) It worked in Marickville, Sydney (sp?) - so maybe it could work here. Will have to do a lot of research regarding contracts awarded by the Council to such companies and human-rights-friendly alternatives they could choose from.
But in other news! I finished my last exam last night, wahoo! 2 more semesters to go, and I'll be an honorary political scientist with letters after my name and everything!
