There's a worrying trend in Australian politics. We are becoming so comfortable with hearing politicians spin lies and hold press conferences presenting one side of the argument that we just have started switching off.
My name is Adam Mostogl, and I'm joining the Hello Noise team to help unspin political speak. See, I am one of those strange people who enjoy political discussions. I follow the #auspol (Australian politics) and #politas (Tasmanian politics) twitter feeds, watch and read about press conferences, and research the issues. I am, in a strange way, a fan of politics.
So as often as the Hello Noise team allow me, I'll be talking about what's going on in the political world. I'll be looking at what the parties stand for, what they're really saying, and how that affect us as young people in Australia.
Politics isn't an easy subject, so sometimes I'll using some bigger words. I'll do all I can to explain them, but sometimes I may not. Just leave a comment, and I'll help you out. So if it's just words, or a political question, don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I'm an active user of Twitter, so feel free to tweet me at @adammostogl and ask me your questions.
Because really, there is more to politics than Tony & Julia. There's theories, ideologies, and political spectrum's. There's electorates, polls, and pressers. And they're all things that voters should know about - because we're the ones who decide the future of this great nation!
