In Australia, you can't even get a date these days without being accosted by a politician.

Instead of simply legislating to give the youth what they want in the July 2 election — think marriage equality, jobs and action on climate change — the politicians have instead chosen to bombard them with sound bites in the digital spaces where they spend time.
