From the wiki: A donkey vote is a ballot cast in an election that uses a preference voting system, where a voter is permitted or required to rank candidates on the ballot paper, and ranks them based on the order the appear on the ballot paper. The voter that votes in this manner is referred to as a donkey voter
Donkey Voting is basically a lazy vote, or an invalid vote. For example if there are five people on the ballot and you just number them 1-5 down the page.
You only have to turn up, you don't have to write anything on the paper. Also, there's generally a good sausage sizzle (bbq) run by the school you vote at for a nominal fee ($2) to somewhat compensate you for the time. Otherwise when the voting commission writes to you asking why you didn't vote, you just say it was for religious reasons and it's end of story.

In Australia you can either vote or get a fine, it does result in people donkey voting, though.

The fine is only $20, I thought it was $170 but that's just if you take it to court.

Donkey voting? I can guess the intended meaning but what's the metaphor mean?

This is countered by using multiple ballots with candidate orders rearranged right?
