If it is not compulsory to vote then just what the hell is the point of having this “Postal Plebiscite”? Of course it will give the answer the rednecks, the bigots and homophobes – they exist in all areas of society and within All Political Parties – want and then they will deliberately use the result to tell us that the 74% of the Public whom we are told support Equality – Marriage or any sort of Equality were just a figment of people’s imaginations and all the usual garbage these politicians and their religious mates spout.
Turnbull should refuse to even talk about it.
Turnbull should simply introduce his own Private Member’s Bill or adopt the Principle of Equality for All as Liberal Party Policy and introduce Government Legislation.
A lot would depend on the ALP and we must not forget that there are a whole swathe of rednecks, bigots and homophobes within the ALP too.
Shorten is bleating about it BUT he made no effort to bring on the legislation to alter the Australian Marriage Act during his time in office, did he?
What does the Australian Constitution say about “Equality”? Does it Guarantee this for all citizens? If the answer is “Yes” then surely the High Court of Australia would uphold the Australian Constitution – no matter what our pathetic politicians think, thereby forcing the Federal Government to amend the Marriage Act.
