voting should not be compulsory

this is why
my wife for over 30, well over 30 years
worked at different levels in a couple of polling stations for all 3 elections
that we are required by law to vote in

now she said, this time I am over it
not this time
because
there are too many stupid people
but on balance heaps of caring people trying to do the correct thing

1, multi voting, yes the same person comes in
2 drunk or drugged and way out that write rubbish over their papers
3 people even ask, who are we voting for now, staff are not allowed to suggest any one

4 people ask whos in government I want them
or don't want them ...... these people havent a clue the government names or even party... answer, as above
5 the number of informal papers, she feels she is wasting her time... the money paid doesn't matter to her
6 the other staff... like why are they there, who haven't a clue what they are doing
and lets the experienced staff canny these people, so to speak

and the plus
Chinese people who think Voting is a great privilege
and carry and show a form of ID !!!!!!!!!!!!

The facts are clear.

Australia have one of the highest voting rates in the world, and yet one of lowest support of government at only 1/3.
It doesn't take a 2 year old to realise the system is broken.
