Today is federal election day in Australia. While having my morning cuppa, I thought about the Aussie slang expression "donkey vote" and wondered about its origin.

In Australia, it is compulsory for everyone who is over 18 years to vote in elections. The donkey vote has been described as an "odd consequence" of this.

Some people choose to make informal "votes" which are not counted. After getting their name crossed off at a polling booth (to avoid being fined!), they might scribble on their ballot-paper instead of numbering candidates. They might even leave it completely blank.

A donkey vote is a bit different though, it is a valid vote that actually counts towards the election results. A voter will number their ballot-paper for the House of Representatives straight down the page and for the Senate by numbering each group from left to right.

This is where it becomes insulting to donkeys!! A donkey voter is considered to be either "ignorant or quite indifferent". Words that I certainly don't think describe these wise, caring creatures.

I hope you all had a Happy Easter and were spoilt by the Easter Bunny 🐇!

We had a quiet one this year as our poor dog, Honey, is recovering from surgery and needs lots of TLC. She is a kelpie with boundless energy and is absolutely hating being cooped up inside during her recovery.

Nothing like some Autumn sunshine 🍂☀️ and my boys 🫏👱 to get me feeling inspired to make some gorgeous leather donkey halters. I've been working away in the background and have some exciting progress to share. I've just got to get better at creating content!

The foundations for Bonny Donkey were laid way back in 2016 when I became the proud owner of 2 American Miniature Medditeranean Donkeys. Joy's Valiant and Joy's Sylvester. Here they are with their dams, Joy's Verle and Joy's Silver Lady, before they were weaned. JOY Miniature Donkey Stud.
