What is actually wrong with the proposal, though? Or are you simply objecting because the idea came from “the other side”, even though The Greens have been pushing this since 2018?
Comment on Independent MP to push for lowering of Australian voting age
MisterFrog@aussie.zone 13 hours agoThis is fair, my language is perhaps a little strong. Still a distraction in my opinion.
Teenagers are in school, and many are very knowledgeable and engaged.
But I don’t really think there is much need to change the voting age

If teenagers are well educated and know how to make a good decision that supports there views then I don’t see why they shouldn’t be able to vote.
Younger people voting for there future is better.

Yeah, you probably wouldn’t see much need for it if you aren’t sixteen. Meanwhile, if you were, you’d probably be sitting there wondering why the rest of us keep fluffing up the climate that you’d have to live with.
