69% would have been symbolic...

My abstinence was symbolic.

Under the current no fault divorce law, I don't think they can. Need to live apart for 12 months and be able to demonstrate irreconcilable differences.
That they don't agree with an impending change to a law won't cut it.

Editted to add link, obviously they didn't think it through!

Overall I think the survey has been a success with the high response rate and clear majority.

That it puts the Conservatives (like Tony Abbott) under pressure when they see the support rate in their own electorates. That's why some sort of public show of hands was needed - they can no longer kid themselves the majority of the people they represent are behind their opposition to the change, and they'll have trouble opposing it in parliament now.

There will probably be a bit of face-saving by nit picking about some of the proposed amendments, but not much total obstruction.
