Voting isn't compulsory.  Turning up is.

Hell, even if you don't turn up it's not much of a fine.

compulsory voting is a violation of human rights and it puts us in the same category as third world nations


2016 hyperbole nomination.

Well your thinking is that of the feeble minded, and how come you advocates for compulsory voting don't know the law ? Failing to vote will incur a fine. $55.

If you place a blank ballot paper in the box, you'd better not tell the AEC because they'll still hit you for $55

"Turning up" ? typical way the feeble minded describe attending a polling booth at your local school and getting ones name crossed of the roll before voting. What if you're overseas at the time ?

Good thing it's a secret ballot then.

Glad you finally got it into your head that voting is compulsory and failing to vote incurs a penalty
