The actual law isn't so much that you must vote, because there are many reasons why people do not vote. Its that you must be on the electoral role in the first place. Our entire system is also preferential, like they are trialling in certain American states. In fact that's so ingrained to our system we think its bonkers others do not use it. However we have always had a problem with what we call the donkey vote. That's where people simply go 1,2,3,4... down the boxes. So there's always fights over how voting cards are arranged. The one thing I think we need to change is actually take a lesson from America. I went to college in America in the late 80s. I was surrounded by people who had done civics in high school. I was constantly stunned how well informed Americans were. They knew how their country functioned and that protected America way more than its military or anything else. As an outside observer I see that as America's biggest single issue, because its allowed this nonsense to happen. America now has 2 generations of people who just don't know how their country works at all. This whole nonsense that an election could be stolen is ridiculous and can only happen because people just don't know how it works. In Australia we never had that type of civics education as a specific class. So in a way were less educated than America. Right now I'd say we are better educated and in light of what's happened in America I think we should do something to strengthen that.
