Foxy,
Technically you’re right, but no one has ever been convicted for not voting after having attended a polling place; what you do with the ballot paper is your own business because it’s a secret ballot.
So there is no compulsion to actually vote.’
As I said seat belts are only compulsory on vehicles on the public roads, likewise helmets.

That's right Issy, we don't have compulsory voting, we have compulsory removal of your name from the roll. Seen plenty of ballots with nothing on come out of the box.

Is Mise: Under the states' various occupational health and safety laws driving standard vehicles (or other specialized vehicles such as a fork lift) on private property, if a work site, will usually require you to wear a seat belt.

But more generally it is illegal to drive a car in a dangerous manner that may risk life regardless of whether it is on public or private property (at least here in Queensland). This is not the exact wording, but the gist of it. So under these provisions it would not surprise me at all if a driver could be charged for not wearing a seat belt even if driving on private property.

In the above last post I forgot to mention that I'm pretty certain that when driving on roads of publicly accessible private land (eg: shopping center car parks) then all the standard road rules apply, which would include wearing seat belts.

This SBS article sounds similar to the apparently anti-Anglo 'artist' Peter Drew trying to replace 'Aussie' identity which the anti-anglo-racist immigration program is making a fiat accompli on both sides of politics.

Every culture needs a place to live- ours is being destroyed in the name of truth- isn't this racist?

Sadly our Anglo-culture has done much to protect other cultures- no good deed goes unpunished.

History speaks for itself - whether we acknowledge
it or not.
