At least the letters were in the right spots. It's finding any others that proved troublesome.

Again with the elusive letters! Just... stay... still...

@apaoapa Some things are just objectively evil, no matter what led up to it

There is no excuse for the actions of Hamas. None. Their actions are inhuman and disgusting. There are no valid justifications. Hideous, primitive and barbarous.

Not too shabby, though for my third guess I used a modern "new" word. I should have stuck to regular English!

Took me a while to pin down the letters! They were elusive today. I'm not sure I particularly identify with the answer, which didn't help.

@freemo It's only $AUD20. Mandatory voting does have an upside: it means that everyone votes, not just the politically motivated at either end of the spectrum, and the consequence is that our governments are inevitably centrist, as they have to appeal to the middle (i.e. normal people) to get elected.

It's not all bad. :)

This picture, courtesy of our national broadcaster, somehow captures the essence of being Australian. Voting is mandatory for all adults, is always on a Saturday, and can be done on the way to the beach.

And case of worthy (but wrong) guesses that rapidly exhausted the possible letters.
