Whilst we do have compulsory voter turnout, its made up for with the democracy sausage.

Most polling stations have a sausage sizzle going so you can get a cheap sausage and bread. It's usually run by a local community group as a fundraiser. Some sell cupcakes and in my area, the Vietnamese community usually home made spring rolls.

Labor, which has lost the last two elections in 2013 and 2016, has promised to match the government’s 2019-20 surplus and then deliver a bigger surplus in 2020-21.
Is this just shoddy reporting; or is this really what is driving the election?
I mean ... you know... if you vote for me I promise to not only match the government's 2019-20 surplus, but I plan to deliver an even BIGGER surplus in 2020-21.

Good luck with your election

The illusion of democracy. The right to vote with no viable options to vote for.
Apart from Labour’s affiliation with unions and championing of workers rights occasionally I really see little difference between not them and the Liberals.
They both swing left and right on policy depending on the stage of the election cycle they are in and other factors.
Let’s take the passing of same sex marriage in to law in to consideration. This was don’t by the Liberal’s who are on paper a centre-right party though due to popular demand and falling approval ratings held a referendum and passed it in to law.
I honestly see very little difference between the two.
Labor leader Bill Shorten has told supporters he wants to "change the nation forever" in his final major speech of the election campaign, vowing to start "from day one" if elected on Saturday.
Speaking at a rally in Sydney on Thursday, Mr Shorten said people should vote Labor so they could look their children and grandchildren "in the eye" on climate change. "This generation of parents ... tell them that we decided to do the responsible thing for the environment," he said.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has used his final major speech before election day to warn voters about the risk a Labor government poses to Australia, repeating "now is not the time" a dozen times as he urged voters to reject the opposition's "big-spending, big-taxing" agenda.
Pitching his message to a quiet majority that he believes has "no time for Twitter trolling, sit-in protests or any form of political activity", Mr Morrison promised he "will burn" to deliver Australians' aspirations if re-elected
