You don't have to vote in NZ and you are not fined for failing to do so.

However those that can't be bothered to vote deserve the Government they get and have no right to moan in my opinion.

1112943 2010-06-24 10:34:00 I think the idea of having isp's redirect an infected pc to a security website might be a decent idea.
However, given that most viruses attempt to block access to security websites, it might not actually be possible to do this.
I suppose alternatively they could set up some sort of government hotline that people could call so that they could be walked through establishing a remote connection to a government monitored computer that is able to repair an infected pc over the internet while it blocks its traffic.

1112944 2010-06-24 10:53:00 Never mind the ISPs

I suspect that a foreign controller is going to seriously modify everything I post ~ ~ just because she can. Her mother has some evil plots in mind as well. Worst of all, I am too ticklish to resist these two evil forces (yet). Wait 'til they're asleep though! When we get, home they are doomed ! ! The micro-demon shoud be asleep. (Wishful thinking.)

1112947 2010-06-25 20:02:00 So, the next question would seem to me to be.
When we replace the Internet, should the replacement be called the Outernet?

1112948 2010-06-25 20:51:00 No we don't. You are legally entitled to exercise your right _not_ to vote in New Zealand, whereas in Oz you can be fined if you don't vote.

But you are still fined here if you don't register to vote.

That's not the same as being fined for not voting
