IT IS 9am on 23 June, 2022. I have just re-read Bass Coast Post editor Catherine Watson’s essay “Post mortem” from last week’s edition, and all the beautiful comments. The article is another real gem from Catherine!

It is hard to believe that it is 10 years since Catherine clicked on “publish” and sent the first basscoastpost.com out to the online world.

Vibrant democracies encourage people to get involved. You don't
have to wait for the next election to play your part.

By Christine Grayden

WITH the federal election in full flight you may have reached the stage where you’re fed up with election hype from all directions and just looking forward to it all being over.

Approximately 35 political parties and many independents are contesting the 2022 Australian federal election. As you will have read in the last edition of the Post, we have eight candidates in the Monash electorate alone. On the surface, that would be an indication of a healthy democracy. However, in total, political parties apparently have at the most a combined 350,000 members across Australia.
