Postal Survey

So after many months of "But think of the children!" and "What about our religious freedoms??" and "Does this mean school boys will have to wear dresses?" and other similar bullshit, the fucking postal survey has told us what we all already knew, which is that a signifcant majority of Australians are in favour of equal marriage.

And also, if we're going to have an "unprecedented exercise in democracy", as Turnbull proudly called it, like if the goal of this was really "giving all Australians a say", then when's he going to start doing mass public opinion polls about our deeply awful treatment of refugees? Or about education funding? Like either you think this kind of direct democracy is important to good government, in which case, where are the rest of my Non-Binding Postal Surveys, or this is a once off, in which case it was a fucking stupid time wasting measure to appease the conservatives in your party.

I don't understand why this was worth the effort. We knew Australians were generally in favour. This is happening one way or another. I don't see why a delay of like four more months was worth it to anyone?

Postal Survey pt. II

 The result was a yes, and I am relieved and happy about this!

Postal Survey pt. III

 Anyway, our friend Mr. Turnbull says he intends to get this done by Christmas.

So we'll see.
