"owns"

But the key thing about Australians is that the majority of us can recognise the shitfuckery and say "yeah nah" .

Plus we also don't have a First Past The Post voting system (we have ranked choice voting and transferable votes) which minimises the amount of idiots who get in. But we also do have Queensland so some get in anyway (it's our Florida).

I should also say we don't have compulsory voting. We have compulsory "showing up". You can do whatever you want to your ballot once you've turned up and had your name crossed off the voting role. Some draw cocks or purposely spoil their ballot paper. But most will actually vote properly.
