Because in Japan a circle denotes 'correct' or an affirmative whereas a Cross or X denotes incorrect or negative.
It's even like that on test papers and exams.
The whole NHK isn't so much a tax but a 'voluntary' donation via door knocking. The reason why they don't bother expats is not only the non-english NHK dorr knocking people but because presumably those non-japanese speaking expats wouldn't be watching Japanese TV.
This is a concession of the FTA with the US. Although this seems good we have to weigh this up with the DMCA laws that will be enforced as part of that FTA. In addition other aspects of Australia's relatively 'free-er' copyright laws will be bought down to the level of the US's, so this is a good thing for IP owners (and IP lawyers) and not such a good thing for everyone else.
This is because Australia is now extra wary of buying military equipment from the US as they've been pretty much screwed over with every single purchase that they have made from them. I don't see why we (I'm an australian) should be locked into maintenance contracts with the US defence industry when Australia has as much (physical) capability and we have partially paid for the development for the JSF.

What I meant is that NHK presumes that the expats don't watch Japanese TV, not that I was making such a presumption.
