Grabbing the chance

This morning I went to the Australian Consulate here in Hong Kong and voted. The whole process took less than 5 minutes; there were no hoardes of desperate politico types shoving wads of waste paper ("how to vote" leaflets) into my hands and exorting me to vote for Labor/Liberal/Democrats/Greens/No GST/Fishing/Lower Beer Excise/Family First (all real parties); no waiting in lines and all during work time.

Hong Kong is missing a massive tourism opportunity.

Weren't there two volunteers waiting at the lift lobby handing out Labor How-to-Vote cards? They were there when I went to vote on Saturday...
