121 ILV - Compulsory voting in elections

Australian law requires citizens 18 and over to vote in all elections. Should voting be compulsory?

Hello Steven — I hope you are well? Just thought I should let you know: the two feeds for ILV I subscribe to in order to receive the podcast (feedburner and breakawaycontent) have not updated with ILV 212. Is there a problem with the feeds? Looking forward to hearing back from you on this when you have a moment. All the best, AlanLB.

Welcome back everyone…nice to hear you again
I find it odd that people who are fans of compulsory voting often assume that making people vote makes them think about their vote.
I’d rather have 25% of the population that has taken a moment or two to think about their vote choose the government, even if it is a government I don’t agree with, than 50% of the people who put more thought into who to vote off Big Brother than they do into who should spend their taxes.
