now, if you truly believed that, why didnt they bring it in when they were in power?

the labs are playing politics on this just as much as the libs, just for a different reason. they want to use it to get back in power, the libs are trying to protect their donors and conservative members

i see no winners on the labs side of this fence


1 day is a long time , well 5 years since the Labour government where in power since we have had knights and dames and the world has changed . Slavery was norm , how things change.

well the public postal vote is going ahead. good to see i have already received a leaflett in the mail telling me why i must vote no, with three reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with marriage, and everything to do with homophobia..... and no ones name on it for me to contact to politely ask that they not pollute my letterbox with trash :(

yay for wasting $122 million dollars just to get the polititians to do their job.

I am STILL waiting for someone who is voting No to tell me how two people getting married directly affects them

If you draw a bum as well it counts as a 'yes' vote.

A bloke rang me on Wednesday night
Asked me which way I was going to vote
I told him it was none of his business
He said it is because it affects him

I told him to **** off and hope that doesn't affect him too much

The ALP wants to delay any such result to save the issue for use as a focus in the next federal election, and to hope to use any division within the LP to make sure they win office, so they don't support either option that is possible for the LP.


Oh please , the PM lacks leadership and doesn't have a spine!
As for the ALP , same sex marriage would be sorted and people could freely marry if that was their want.

As I said Turnbull is trying to pull his Conservatives into line with public pressure - doing anything else would be political suicide - not "spine".
Tackling the conservatives head on without demonstrating public opinion to them would doom the "Yes" vote given that their are some ALP MPs and cross-benchers leaning toward voting "No" too.

Billy boy has an unstated objective - he is only focussed on the next election and will use anything and anyone to try to win that even if it means delaying gay marriage to use it as an issue at that next election

There is a lot of distortion of reality going on, based on prejudice and political self-interest, and, yes, a plebiscite or survey will give some of the those opposing gay marriage a platform, but an overwhelming "Yes" vote via some form of public forum will take the whole issue off the back-burner and pull some politicians into line when the vote comes in parliament. Without that we could have a free vote in parliament with no definitive outcome and a lot more stalling.

But Billy would then have his next election issue.

I've got a bad feeling that the no vote is going to get up because of the bullying campaign the yes people are running.

If Shorten was that adamant it the law should be changed he should come out & say they'll make it policy if elected. He wont though just in case the no vote wins.

This 'bullying' is a construct of the no-vote.

Is the tide beginning to turn? Poll results conducted for the 'yes' camp showed a sharp drop in support.....
