SSM Plebiscite

[Thryleon]

What a minefield.

The way I read the decision is that due to the dads4kids organisation having dodgy motives, their ad was dumped. Seems to me that this organisation is a fundamentalist christian group/cult that is opportunistically attempting to subtly skew public opinion to fathers and mothers and not father and fathers - a political comment in disguise.

I don't see any PC stuff here, just a pack of extremists with a homophobic agenda (in disguise) being told to FO.

Fathers Day must and will remain, regardless of the sexual orientation of the bloke. Plenty of ripper straight and gay dads about the place and, sadly, there are straight and gay c0ckheads as fathers also.

Irrespective of why they did it, odds are the ads being pulled scored more points for the no vote than it did for the yes vote, and had it gone to air, no one would have batted an eyelid.

Other than that, I hope they get this bill passed and we can move on, because if its no this time, it will not dissapear, this debate will rage for the next 100 years until there is a yes vote irrespective of what the public want, which is why personally the people Im most angry about are our government.

Wasting billions on a vote, that is frankly not necessary.  Allow them to marry and lets get on with it.  Everyone moans about lack of leadership, but fork me did our government have simply run away from this contest.
