True!

Explanation:

In Australia, it is required that all eligible Australian citizens vote. This is called compulsory voting and was introduced for men in 1893 and for women in 1948. Punishments for not abiding by the law include fines that increase if it happens multiple times. You must provide a valid reason for not voting in order to avoid to paying fines.
