How to vote

March 18th and SA goes to the polls. We haven't really considered it yet with no seat belts for school buses , toxic algal bloom in the Torrens and furthermore a whole festival of events to look forward to and enjoy. Then there's the dreaded virus going around which has got us one by one and laid us low. So an election has been very much on the back burner. We have been treated to how to vote adverts and have a whole big booklet to tell us how to vote. Two questions. Why does state or federal government information assume we are both illiterate and junior primary school in our skills and competencies? Who were the ad execs who came up with a snail with a man's face to be the speaker for the how to vote campaign? We are not little and we are not stupid. Seriously, how do you sit there and get the notion a snail with a man's face is the way to go for how to vote spokesperson???
