A new government’s genesis viewed from Second Life

November 24, 2007

ABC Island played host to an election night party, with lots of chat about unfolding events in the real world. The ‘Australians’ group in SL was also buzzing with a running commentary.

It’d be an understatement to say those gathered on ABC island and the group chat were pro-Kevin Rudd:

Numerous comments were expressed in regard to the ALP’s broadband policy and its impacts on the SL experience. There was plain old partying.

As one party-goer said, “I just wanted to be with some Aussies at this historical moment”. There’s been no involvement by Australian political parties in Second Life to date - my prediction is that by next election there’ll be a marked presence by at least one party in the virtual world sphere.
