And being completely
ignorant will get you no where. If you consider being obliged to vote is a hassle, then pack your back and jump on the first boat to another country and see if you are any better off.
Australian politics (as a whole) does not require too much of its citizens in terms of its electoral processes. You register after you are 18yrs old, you advise of any change of address, you vote when and as required for Local/State/Federal elections - tough isn't it. So for a brief moment consider the alternatives.
