FFS leave GST alone Chippy

I can't agree with 16 year olds having the right to vote; partly because they lack life experience but mostly due to the human brain not being fully developed until the mid 20s.

I do think though that civics should be taught in high schools.

And perhaps those of us who get to say 65-670 should be tested for dementia/alzheimers to make sure we're fit to vote.

Yes, fully agree about young people, especially about teaching civics at school. I'm not so sure about testing the older age group though. The principle sounds good but at what point would you say that someone with pre-dementia mild cognitive impairment is going to make a bad decision because of that? At least they have their lifetime of experience behind them so might still be capable of a sensible vote. [I doubt that I'll get to 670 - but close to 100 would be good].
