Default Citizenship and voting

If a person has gained Australian citizenship (i.e. a British immigrant) and then chooses to relocate back to the UK for good, are they still obliged to vote (by proxy I guess) during federal elections?

Compulsory voting does not apply to Australian citizens resident overseas.
