If you can't understand why anyone would spend a sunny Saturday pressing political propaganda into the hands of harried voters, you're not alone.

So we asked them. Here's what they had to say.
Jeremy Prangnell was representing for the Greens in Kiama.
"I've been here for two hours today, and I did some pre-polling as well," he said.
"It is a beautiful day, there's a lot of social interaction between he different supporters of each party. It's interesting how much overlap there is in the humanity of all of us.
"For me, community is the most important thing, and freedom of choice - the fact that we can do this. These are the things I believe in, and if you want to talk, lets talk."
Jackson Calverly put in an enormous day for the Liberal Party - but he said it was all about his local member.
"I'm here because Gareth really put Kiama on the map in terms of funding for major projects," he said.
"He's been a great advocate, and I feel he aligns with most of what I'm looking for.
"There's certainly 1000 other things I'd rather do on a Saturday.
"I've been here since 6.30 this morning, so I've had a few coffees, but I love seeing democracy in action and i think it's really important we celebrate everyone coming together.
"You may not align with each other, but we've had good banter and it's been fun."
Nola Tucker said her Saturday was part of a 60-year commitment to the Labor Party.
"I'm 81 - I've voted Labor for 60 years, and I'm not going to change now," she said.
"I believe in fair jobs, fair work and fair pay, I believe in nurses, public schools and public hospitals.
"I believe in climate change and I'm very concerned for the environment, and I disagree with what this government has done to the environment."
Yadida Sekel was handing out flyers for the Voluntary Euthanasia Party in Bomaderry, and said she was most motivated by a single issue.
"We're just trying to get euthanasia legalised in NSW," she said.
"A lot of people misunderstand and think somebody is going to kill them, but it's nothing like that, it's your choice, if you would like at the end of your life, if you are suffering from a terminal illness, for a doctor to help you, you can say 'please'. That's all it is.
"We hope we will get someone into the NSW Parliament to be able to get this law through.
"I've been here since 9 o'clock this morning. I just believe in it. I think it's terribly important that people don't suffer unnecessarily."
