When I attended the session for independents at the last state election, one statement that quite surprised me was that voting was compulsory for those over seventy, but the person said they wouldn't enforce it.
Now I see the following for the council election.

To me this just seems absurd. Surely they should just make voting optional for over 70's.
I assisted one elderly person who was hysterical thinking they'd have the wrath of the government on them if they didn't vote and had no clue what the information in the postal vote meant. If you've tried to read and understand what the government sends out for the state election, you'll find it quite verbose and difficult to understand.
At a time when we should make it easier for the elderly, or in fact all people, the government makes it harder in their own interests.
First Julia Gillard redefines the meaning of misogyny and now compulsory doesn't mean compulsory.
