Comments on: NZ Minister tells Australia to “get on with” marriage equality /news/national-news/nz-minister-tells-australia-get-marriage-equality/162143 Setting Australia’s LGBTI agenda since 1979 Thu, 21 Sep 2017 02:17:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 By: Dave /news/national-news/nz-minister-tells-australia-get-marriage-equality/162143#comment-598662 Thu, 21 Sep 2017 02:17:48 +0000 https://starobserver.com.au/?p=162143#comment-598662 The stories from NZ and the UK are spectacularly similar. Centre right government has been in power for a few years. The issue of same sex marriage arises. The centre-right government recognises that it’s time for this modern concept to be legislated in accordance with their philosophical support for liberal individual rights. It goes ahead. Everything goes well. The centre-right government gets re-elected at the next election with an increased majority, the opposition leader has to apologise for their dismal election result and resigns.

That is exactly how it went down firstly in NZ under John Key and then in the UK under Key’s close friend David “I support same sex marriage not despite being a conservative but because I am a conservative” Cameron.

Turnbull is cut from the same cloth politically as Key and Cameron. But here in Australia unlike NZ and the UK our conservatives are so pants-down stupid that they’re inflicting this awful process on us and themselves rather than get it right and cruise through the next election as per the UK and NZ.

As the NZ minister in the article might say, our conservatives are a bunch of duckheads.
