I see your point but a situation like that could end up working against what you want.

People who are saying that this is a good thing, must be mad!
This country is getting more and more like a totalitarian "Democracy"!!!
I thought a "Democracy" was about choice, and not being falsed
to do something like vote.
Being falsed to vote, will just make people more angry, and are more likely to invalidate the ballot paper, out of spite, and protest!

Oh come on don't be so picky, he obviously got caught up in typing like a lot of us do (I know I do).
If you hadn't had the quoted text your post would have blatently been in violation of the short posting thing and wouldn't even have been allowed by the software. Can't you just politely notify him of his error by U2U or try and be less sarcastic?

I support this, but think they should give the voters a little incentive. Perhaps a national holiday on the day that everyone votes! Maybe then people would embrace their ability to vote, not see it as an extra hastle on another day at work...

Odd. As has been said before, it's compulsory to vote if you're over 18 and an Australian citizen.
Boohoo, you might have to wait in line just to cast a donkey vote. But it's your nation's future. Other people aren't so lucky to have a say in how their country is run - I think most people in democratic societies take that for granted. I'm sure if a horrible dictatorship arises, people will be wanting to vote greatly.
