Years ago I would have strongly disagreed with William's article. Lately, however, I am beginning to see his point of view. Neither of our major parties in this last campaign election took the time to actually speak to any of the people of Australia. Every city they went to they held press conferences but the average Australian was kept away. If voting was made voluntary then they would have no choice but to talk to the people, not the press. After all, aren't we the ones they are meant to represent??
