GET UP N VOTE

Rather good video from GET UP exhorting (young) voter registration -

Update July 19 - Good news. While compulsory voting, whatever you think of it, is only compulsory if you are enrolled, that there's been a late rush of enrollments now the election has been announced shows there's at least some energy left in the electorate. The SMH reports there has been a rush with tens of thousands eager to get on the roll, the Australian Electoral Commission national call centre upping its staff from 500 to 700, and the AEC website crashing.
