Please do not quote on part of a person's post, it tends to give the wrong impression. Case in point, the example above makes it out that you cannot complete a sentence. It can also be used to quote someone out-of-context. I did not mention incursions, high -sec mining or missioning in a group because I was responding to a post I quoted in which the author mentioned soloing. Please keep this discussion going in a positive manner. The topic was new player aversion to null-sec.
He was.
He made the fact quite clearly that many new players have NO NEED to go to nullsec. It's less about aversion as it is about why bother?
You're quite right about the elements of gameplay "out there" but for a very long time - unless you have a special quality to further your interests/notoriety quickly - you'll be no more than a grunt/cannon-fodder.
Nullsec democracy is an oxymoron.
Bloc voting for-áalliance candidates is Democracy for Morons 101. Let them perish in their self-interest.

There are a plethora of good solo spaceships games for the anti-social. EVE isn't one of them.
Also the anti-null sentiment is en vogue on the forums, don't take it personally.
There is too much emphasis on you MUST be part of a social group to be able to play Eve. In my experience so far, the more social a group claims they are the less likely they will be. I could get exactly the same "social interaction" just by having TS open and shooting the breeze with mates. Whether I am in highsec/lowsec/nullsec or a WH is and always has been irrelevant.
It's mostly down to the one simple fact that when I go to nullsec, I am a nobody and unless I can sing badly, swear like a navvy or produce heaps of **** links I may as well not be there. (This is a generalisation incidentally.)
In highsec, in a corp or otherwise, I am my own boss, I decide what I want to do and politics is limited to smacktalking Miillia in Rens.
There may well be incentives to go to null, (fleet fights/good ratting etc.) but they get very tedious and rather pointless after a while and the reasons to stay in null - particularly if you cannot progress beyond a grunt for whatever reason - get less and less the longer you stay.

How would you go about joining a null-sec corporation and are there any established NZ / Australian timezone null-sec corporations?

Nullsec is an organized, vocal minority, but players who never have been to nullsec are the single largest demographical group. GǪexcept that those are not the demographics. It's only 66% of the characters, and there's a fair chance that half of that (or maybe slightly less) are actually alts of the non-highsec third. That would mean the supposed Gǣsingle largest demographical groupGǥ consists of maybe 30-40% of the playersGǪ
If the character is in Highsec he is included in the demographic. Whether he is an alt of a Nullseccer is 1) not pertinent and 2) not definitive.
Because that player could be a Highseccer with a Nullsec char. Does this now mean that some of Nullsec must then form the numbers for Highsec? So there's not as many in Nullsec as we think either?
Add WH/Lowsec variability...... Hmmm.

No worry ego rubbish null sec.) **** high-sec wardecing mechanics, repetitive game-play, Also scamming is far more prevalent in high-sec, as are idiotic egomaniacs. In an earlier post you listed roaming low-sec and wormhole raids, but since these are not high-sec activities, they can not be listed as a high-sec positive. Incursions also happen in null, so there goes that bit also. You state; "Fini," I, on the other hand, disagree wholeheartedly. War dec shield. Low sec roam and WH raid = easy access when want PVP. High sec perfect casual play. High sec is place play EVE. Null sec is place work EVE. Too big headache.
Your use of the French language is so fluent.
