Holiday recommendation: Learn more about Australian democracy

Holidays are a great way to take a break and relax. Outside University, life goes on with the Queensland state election occuring, Saturday the 25th of November.

If you want to indulge in either your intellectual or entertainment needs, there are multiple items to help learn about democracy in the Australian context.

Old satirical movies like Don's Party, or learn about all our Australian Prime Ministers up to 2010. You might even like to brush up on your political science ideology definitions, and see how people are throwing around words like socialism, communism, facisism and feminism in the post-truth context compared to how the terms are defined. Read books like Political Ideology: An Australian Introduction and Political ideologies: An Introduction.

And don't forget to vote.
