Well hey, you could always join or collaborate with a news agency like Reuters, AFP or Getty and sell them pics for all of us overseas media to use. Or become a provider for a newspaper or something. That's a good way to make money from pics.
It's a shame people are so conditioned to think "yuck" of politicans when... well, they decide your basic day-to-day opportunities and whether you can, say, marry, apply for a job there or how much taxes you have to pay :( Especially when Australia has mandatory voting. Last year I was manning a polling station and it was so sad to see people asking me how to vote because they weren't sure about how to and... why don't they teach this sort of stuff in schools?
The problem is that the Hansons in the world rise thanks to people feeling like politics doesn't matter, or angry at the "stablishment"... and that's what could change if people got more involved instread of resorting to protest-voting :(
