Quoted by oh-so-cool Buzzfeed (though as an old fogey who says this a bad idea): Australia's Youngest Senator Will Introduce A Bill To Lower The #auspol Voting Age To 16 https://www.buzzfeed.com/joshtaylor/australias-youngest-senator-will-introduce-a-bill-to-lower?utm_term=.tcoEKbXpZ … via @joshgnosis
I have to say I'm not sure that the argument that the Coalition would be disadvantaged by lowering the voting age is valid. Surely it should be about whether we consider 16 a responsible age if anything?

Think back to when you were 16 and then ask your question again! An age of all care, no responsibility and the Bank of Mum and Dad.

My point exactly! We can argue about whether 16 is different to 18 re:voting, but whether this impacts the Liberals is surely not the main issue here, despite being what's going to define the party-line support
