What’s the difference between an informal vote and a reg one?

Nothing, I guess, if you take your view that: " the results don’t matter" but I like to think an informal vote i.e. a dud (uncounted) vote signals to the powers-that-be a protest that the rank and file (a.k.a the deplorables) are mightily pissed off with the political system such that they are contemptuous of all the political parties.

Oh I was quoting a meme that was going around when ScoMo became PM “Welcome to Australia - where voting is compulsory and the results don’t matter” 😂

I suppose in some way that’s true-parliament seems to install who they want anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️
