Question

Answer 1

Suffrage has to do with voting.  If something is compulsory that means you are required to do it.

 

So your statement means that in Australia, if you are between 18 and 70, you are required to vote

 

Here's some more info from a quick Google search:

 

Is it mandatory to vote in Australia?
Yes, under federal electoral law, it is compulsory for all eligible Australian citizens to enrol and vote in federal elections, by-elections and referendums.

 

 

Does this make sense?
