Now it's going to be a postal vote that won't count.

Labor, Liberal, Greens, Democrats? Here's the place to discuss.

Maybe try to change opinions, instead of talking negatively about people who feel the same as your lovely grandmother.

Like I was saying, people have things instilled in them, believe it for decades and now you expect them to forget all that and change from seeing ads on the tv?

Pretty gutless to not speak up and engage in an actual conversation. Enjoy the show though.

I was gonna ask whether you had spoken to your family and friends about it but it's pretty clearly you ldon't speak to them or anyone in real life.

I dont even know what you mean by that to be honest.

I've already said about talking to an employee here. I also talked about it with our elderly owner, who is more on the YES side than I thought he would be. I've had discussions with my own family, and other people.

Surprisingly, I'm very similar in real life to how I am on here. It's unfortunate, but it was the hand I was dealt.

We elect politicians to make decisions in this country and this so called survey ,vote , is an example of a government with no spine split between extreme religious nuts .

Well Turnbull did go to the last election saying if elected he would hold a pleb on the issue. Now he's going ahead with his election promise. :roll:

It's not a pleb, it's an opinion poll. He can throw it in the bin if he likes.

Whether you like Turnbull or not it's absolute cowardice. They're elected to be the government and make these kind of decisions but because they're so gutless (I wouldn't pretend Labor would be any different, they didn't do shit in their five years in power) they're trying to have a bob each way by having a postal vote. Even then they've already said even if the vote comes back yes it doesn't mean they'll go ahead with it or not.

$120+ million just to save face with their right-wing backers, **** muppets.

Yeah, they did. They held a vote and it was no. No; when they had the numbers. No matter how much they try to hide history, it's there for all to see

They could also throw a plebiscite in the bin. What they're holding now is no more binding than a plebiscite.

I'd be interested to know HOW he was campaigning...not that it deserves a violent reaction though.

He wasn't actually campaigning at the time. If you read the article & follow the link to the Facebook post, he was waiting at a bus stop.
