News and Views:
Today we posed you the question: "Should the legal age to vote be lowered?" With Rick in the studio MK co-hosts Kate and Sarah had a lengthy discussion about the pros and cons of each. The Hype Hotline was flooded with callers on 9472 1017.
Here is a sample of your opinions:
Glen (18) from Nedlands: "Absolutely the right should be lowered! I am sick of the government making decisions I dont agree with!"
Jamie (20) from Swanview: "I don't care about politics and I hate having to vote."
Annie (17) from Joondalup: "I wish I could vote - I have so much to say and as a young people I feel I don't get heard."
