Why in this day and age has the government not embraced the easy option of internet voting?

The greatest advocates against internet voting are actually programmers and security experts. The system simply wouldn’t be secure and its integrity would always be called into question compared to pen/paper voting. If you think letting the Government create internet voting is a good idea, I’d suggest having a look at the MyGov website…

It would make younger people more likely to vote, and the laboral party do not want that.

Err, do you mean the Labor Party? That statement is a little bit odd considering young voters are overwhelming left wing and moderates. Poll research has indicated that very few young people will be voting for the Liberals considering that all the moderate factions within the Liberal party have been eliminated and/or defected elsewhere.

How many teachers would be Laborites?

About 50%.
The rest are Greens and Marxists.
