Democracy is far more important than keeping micro-parties out of office. Now consider the Senate preference deals are something that most people will never look at in their lives and that the apathetic will indeed be voting on election day; you don't see any problem with the apathetic voting for people who they don't think they're actually voting for because they don't understand the system, hence nothing gets back to compulsory voting? I find that weird, I can almost directly trace half of that problem to people voting when they really don't want to vote at all and couldn't give a rats what's on the paper.
You offer no proof. You speculate that because a minor party got in that that's voter apathy
You misunderstand that there are various proportional representation systems that offer different methods to count votes without excluding minor parties.
Why are you so hung up on this one minor party considering the giant clusterfuck of a government sitting in the lower house?

If someone does not wish to exercise that right, they do not have to. However, you shouldn't complain about the current regime if you didn't cast a vote. You don't even need to vote in one of the two-party candidates, just write yourself in, then it at least shows you've made an effort.

why do you not have a right to complain if you don't vote?
you could choose not to vote and still see something wrong with the system.
