SSM Plebiscite

[LP]

But in this case, the idea isn't that the Coalition wants to follow the people; the idea is to frustrate the will of the clear majority of the electorate which supports a same-sex marriage amendment.

Mav, where have you been lately?

It's become very interesting, it seems to me in recent times the bullied have become the bullies, one in the very same with those they accuse!

I was indifferent to the whole idea, I don't see how a piece of paper matters so much that we can waste hundreds of millions of dollars on such an issue. This isn't like the right to vote!

Especially when the country has so many other more important issues that could be easily addressed with that money.

I was happy to vote yes, but after so much recent aggressive behaviour from the group I viewed as pacifists, I'm re-thinking my approach. In effect the extreme "Yes" lobby's behaviour has turned me off supporting them!

As you know, I hate nothing more than being labelled, and it seems I've been labelled as "them" by both sides! Perhaps I will vote to retain the status quo, perhaps that is what the coalition want, they've let the bullies expose themselves! :o

People in my age group have a lot of friends and associates who for various reasons have strong opinions one way or the other, but they are entitled to have that opinion and they are free to voice it in Australia, not get shouted down by a bunch of fanatics. As is often the case the debate has become the domain of extremists.

Surprisingly, there seems to also be a very strong push back from the youth, they are well educated and experienced in recognising bullying. Do not be surprised if things do not go as cleanly and clearly as apparently planned by the "majority".

Thank-you Mr Media. You have proven yet again how destructive and unproductive you can be. I suppose you've cracked the sads because the Victorian's cancelled your state government sponsored private party!
