Should 16-year-olds like Stella and Jayla be allowed to vote?

Sixteen-year-olds can learn to drive, get a job, pay taxes and be on the Organ Donor Register, but they are considered too young to vote. Should they also have a stake in deciding their future?

    you don’t trust this person to give sexual consent

    Umm, age of consent in at least most of Australia (I only checked the 3 most populous states, and all of them matched) is 16.

    From what I’ve seen of adults, I have no reason to believe the average adult is any more aware or any less susceptible to lies than 16 year-olds.
