Try living in the land of OZ    During a house move I failed to vote in a
minor Council election
( voting is compulsory here )  I received a penalty notice 2 years later
advising me if I did not pay $75 my LICENCE & REGISTRATION would be
cancelled . Had the purchaser of my previous home not forwarded this on to
me the consequences of being in say a minor accident boggles the mind
....unlicensed....unregistered  =  uninsured........

To put compulsory voting in perspective   Our Local MP came from a union
sectary job to politics  He is now trying to stare down the fraudulent use
of his Union credit card ( $100K of members money )  to pay for Hookers
...Long lunches....School fees...cash withdrawals ++

We are expected under penalty of possible prison time to vote for these
scumbags
.Worse I believe Australia is the only democratic country to have compulsory
voting

This happened 22 years ago & I still seethe at the thought of it
