Summary: The Australian way of doing elections is unique. Most of us know that Australia is one of only a few countries where voting is mandatory. We vote on a Saturday, and when we do, we cast our votes, in private, inside a booth, using a secret ballot. On this episode of Think Business Futures, with the federal election looming, we examine our assumptions about our electoral systems with Rebecca Huntley and Jingjing Zhang. Further Reading: • Rebecca Huntley's article, Australia Fair, is available in the current issue of the Quarterly Essay. • You can find more information on Jingjing's research on the UTS Business School website. • For official election information, visit the Australian Electoral Commission's website Music: Gunnar Johnsen, Fabien Tell, Dew Of Light, Peter Sandberg, Flouw, Rand Aldo and Mo Stacks
