I cant yet vote in Australia and to be honest I'm not looking forward to the prospect of being confronted with a 3 foot wide strip of paper where I have to put numbers in boxes above and below the line (I've seen the TV ads).

Why does voting here seem so needlessly complicated? what's wrong with putting an X in a box?

Surely there must be a large proportion of society who wont understand what to do?
