Before my time.

  That doesn't matter if it's fact. The only time in my life I've witnessed the majority of citizens feel that they were sufficiently empowered politically to truly change things for the better was in those few weeks—they did so because they could actually see the policies they'd voted for just days previously were being enacted and cemented in place within days of the election! It was probably the most exciting and hopeful time ever in Australian politics and should never be forgotten. I vividly recall my own experience: I'd been conscripted to go to Vietnam and was driving along on the approach to a large bridge and I nearly ran off the road with excitement when I heard on the radio that those two politicians had made an executive decision to end conscription even before the parliamentary process had gotten fully underway. It's a moment I'll never forget.
