    Everyone will have to learn from Chinese how to get through internet firewalls. They have accumulated 20 years of experience in this :)

      Hardly. No one is preventing under 16's from talking, nor denying them their mandate to vote once they reach the age of 18.

      There are actual arguments, better ones, against the Australian Governments course of action here, but neither of these really cuts it.
