SSM Plebiscite

[kruddler]

I'm one who was very critical of the plebiscite (postal survey).
I still regard it as a waste of money given that a same sex marriage bill would have passed through parliament anyway.

Watching the debate yesterday though I do wonder whether some of the amendments proposed would have passed if there had been no emphatic plebiscite YES vote.

We still would have had the legislation but in maybe a slightly different form.

Yeah, i think that is the main thing to come from the vote, the finer details of it all.

Who can say what kind of bastardised version of SSM would have been passed if the general public had not have essentially forced their hand.
