Australian Election

Yesterday was the election day here in australia and weeks before that, i got the chance to 'experience' the campaigning atmosphere here  for the first time. why the inverted commas?!
well.. because, theres not much  of a difference at all!(.. more junkmails i suppose ;P)
probably because i came from a very politically-atmosphered-country, i was expecting a bit more posters and flags, and a public holiday for the polling.. but no. NO flags, posters were put up at appropriate places..only, trees were untouched, no demonstration, or cars honking each other.
and worst.. no polling holiday.. but, wait, do we have it back home?! anyhow.. if we dont we should have it  you know, i mean to make the decision is a big task!

anyhow, back to the topic, as a whole i would say that the campaigning here was done very professionally. No such thing as insulting each other, unbiased media, debates were on real country issues NOT on personal issues. so yeah, theres a lot to be learnt here.

one party caught my attention.. family first!
yep, thats  the official name of the party.

when its becoming very difficult sometimes to convince people the importance of having a good family structure, this party here is fighting for it! one of the things that they fight for is for full time mums be rewarded! when more and more ladies prefer to work outside, have a career of their own, be at par with the men, this party acknowledge/ appreciates those who choose to stay at home to take care of the family. on the other hand, sad to say, many of us now look down on those ladies who choose to be at home. Come, lets have our principles right. am not asking you to vote for family first, polling has ended anyway. Am just asking you and myself of course to devote to our deen. Get our priorities right! Know what we should do! Whats our true responsibilities! some people may say that this is the right way and that is old fashion.. in the end, those are peoples words/ ideas.. everyone will be held accountable with what they do/say.

Lets  turn to Allah, cause finally, we shall all return to Him.. alone!
May Allah guide us all! Amin.
