okay ill fix this,

The right to vote is a structural protection to protect the broad community.

the right to vote was defined as a structural protection through the case of Roach V. The electoral commission 2007

It is a structural protection.
This is because under sections 7 and 24 it states that both of the house of reps and senate need to be elected by the people so the government can represent the people (representative government). therefore the structure of the constitution itself states that we have the right to vote to ensure sections 7 and 24 are fulfilled.

STURCTUARL PROTECTION - please don't get wrong in exam

A very crappy public school. Anyone, I'm glad you clarified that for me. I've asked my teacher a million times and she swore that it was an implied right! Can't believe I'm finding this out the day before the exam -_-

Yeah the textbooks from 2011 and some even last year if you didn't get the new editions used to have it as an implied right.
Just means your school hasn't updated books.
Even though it may be a crappy public school as you say teachers get emails and publications from VCAA all the time with new changes so there is really no escuse by your teachers.
