Unfortunately, thanks to Ultra-Right-Wing, neo-Fascists & homophobes like Failed PM Tony Abbott, who set up the “Designed to Fail” Plebiscite and which Turnbull was forced to bring to a vote in the Parliament or else be accused of “Breaking a Promise” by the ALP – which is renowned for doing so -, Erich Abetz, George Christensen and nor must we forget that arch-homophobe, deservedly reviled, SA Senator Cory Bernardi (OK this creature has now no vote in the Liberal Party Room).
Should Turnbull, who is in Favour of such a Vote, bring it on theses homophobes and their mates would, even if it meant the destruction of the Government, do two things.
(a) they would move to get rid of Turnbull – totally unlike any of them, a True Liberal in every sense of the word
and
(b) they would try to stop such a Free Vote taking place.
Let us not forget that within the ALP there are many old-fashioned, mostly Catholic MPs & Senators who won’t have a bar of giving us Equality when it comes to Marriage and even Bill Shorten, renowned for his switching sides “The PM, Kevin Rudd has my Full Support” and then he stabbed Rudd in the back and shortly later he also said “The PM, Julia Gillard, has my Full Support” and then he stabbed her in the back as well. Shorten will side with whichever group he thinks he will personally benefit most from.
I hate to say it but I think this idea of OUR Parliament and OUR Employees being given a Free Vote is dead in the water.
