I guess not, or it wouldn't have been for this stunt.

I changed my name from Geoff Richardson to Of The Above None on March 16, 2007. I did so because I wanted to emphasise at this election the fact that the two party system does not provide for the plurality of views which represents the Australian community.
I believe that a Parliament which contains its fair share of committed Independents can more adequately canvas all the issues from a non ideology-based perspective.
I have strong views on a wide range of issues but if elected I am committed to engaging with the electorate on all matters before casting my vote in Parliament.
Leaving the ballot blanc would work, voting is still anonymous in Australia I assume. So it would be added to the 'spoiled' votes pile.
Anyway there are other reasons against compulsory voting

Our turnout was just over 65%, going back up thanks to Trump lol. If you want people to go out and want to vote, you have to engage with the public. Forcing people to make an unknowledgable / unwanted choice isn't making the results any more valid.
Anyway goodluck Australia, make the 'right' choice :)
