Why is there such apathy about voting and the political system in Australia? Some 480,000 students in our schools do not know what civics and civic education is about.
Voting in Australiauscompulsory, but 600,000 people failed to vote at the last Federal election.
Of those who voted, 800,000 cast donkey -informal and invalid – votes.
Australians are fed political disinformation and misinformation.
Australians are in danger of becoming a politically illiterate society.
