Nic Heath...is a strong one, in my view. I agree with everything Justine Landis-Hanley says in this piece: that 16-year-olds can work and pay tax, go to jail, and I'd add, serve in the armed forces. Extending them the vote would create a more civically minded and politically engaged (and progressive) electoral landscape in Australia.

I do think it should be optional for under 18's
I know 16 year olds who are far more politically aware than many 30 year olds but some that have had absolutely no exposure to politics or interest in it.
What do you think?
