Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Thanks yes they are only found in Australia and nowhere else. Why are we letting them go extinct?
The thing about politicians is I think we need to remember that we are ultimately responsible because we avoiding these people in.
How many of the voting public I wonder have actually spent much time at all investigating the politicians that they are giving their vote to and what these politicians actually stand for?
I have a feeling they would be quite shocked and probably would have voted for a totally different person if they would only spend more time thinking about the issues

I think Australians vote because they have to. They don’t really know who or what they are voting for. There are only two main parties so not much choice but there are so many random parties confusing the vote. Personally I don’t think people research politicians and their policies because that’s too hard

I am really happy with my member of parliament. She was a great mayor of our shire for many years and we can trust her to have our best interests at heart when she is making important decisions

@Bobobali

Also sometimes the politicians are so busy attacking the other party that they are not clearly advertising their policies.
