It’s possible there’s a more bizarre thing being advertised on television, but I haven’t seen it

So, like, really, what’s up with that show they’re advertising on Channel 9: A Year with the Royal Family narrated by Cate Blanchett. Like, why is she doing that? I mean I’d do it. In a heartbeat. But she’s Cate Blanchett. And I, quite obviously, am not.

?

oh, and yay Get Up and all that, but what were they thinking, standing at polling booths, handing out that ‘restore balance to the Senate’, but saying ‘we’re not telling you how to vote’ and explaining to people who are about to go and vote ‘we’re not a political organisation, we’re an activist organisation’…where I was handing out how-to-votes, most people looked bemused to say the very least…I guess it’s water dripping on a stone and all that, but even so, an unusual way to spend what I imagine are precious funds…
