(The Australian,14.08.07,p.2).
Three groups control Australian Politics,The Inner City Elite,The Unions and Employers,the great majority of Australians are not represented by either of the main parties.
Compulsory voting gives both main parties the opportunity to claim support of the majority which is a lie. You have to vote by law but how you vote depends on you and nobody can inspect your ballot paper as you put it in the ballot box.
