The call came from Aussie swimwear brand Budgy Smuggler, who offered out a free pair of their stock to anyone who agreed to ‘exercise their constitutional right to vote without pants on’. To be fair, there’s nothing in the constitution that says you have to wear trousers to cast your vote. It’s worth remembering that this turnout is even more impressive because it’s currently winter over in Australia, and the weather hasn’t exactly been brilliant of late. Wandering around in your pants during a rainstorm isn’t a whole heap of fun, so let’s hope many wore their swimming trunks instead.
