I don't want to start a war here... but please describe the alternatives? Being free to choose if you want to vote or not?
Sure there are worse situations than being required to vote out there. But there are better ones too (such as being free to choose...)
It has nothing to do with the effort involved in voting/Australian politics. It's about choice.
edit: I was a bit harsh with the "That's just dumb." comment. I'm sure it has some positives to it.
