What sort of bullshit country fines you for not voting? Voting is a right and thus if I did somehow miss it thats my loss in not getting to voice my opinion.
Fuck this country shits me at times.

I got this from when I came from NSW to here, moved just before the election so obviously wasn't there. They sent me 'letter & fines' apparently but nothing got to me. They ended up sending it to the (NSW) State Debt Recovery office which enforced another $50 fine & they used an old address (parents) from my old license 5 years ago.
I recieved it with 2 days to go before my licence would be suspended for non-payment, called State Debt & they said write a letter saying you weren't in town & didn't recieve original fine because you moved. Apparently the majority of the time they just write off the whole fine, which is what I'm applying for now.
Was furious when I first got it though.
