Lobbyists on both sides of the marriage equality debate would be free to distribute misleading and deceptive material ahead of the same-sex marriage postal vote, because the usual campaign rules have been discarded.

In order to circumvent the Senate, the Turnbull government's optional marriage survey will be conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, meaning the safeguards of the Commonwealth Electoral Act would not apply.

Can't wait to see the misleading and deceptive pro-gay material.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) CEO Barry Buffie has referred his organisation to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) over claims made on ABC TV’s Four Corners on Monday night about the state waste industry.

“The Four Corners program contained allegations about corruption in the waste industry and suggested, or implied, corrupt conduct through inaction by the EPA in response to notifications of illegal waste activities,” he said.

The EPA’s director of waste and resource recovery Steve Beaman, who was interviewed in the program, has gone on “recreation leave” for a month, effective immediately.

Michael Kirby to boycott ballot

Same sex marriage continues to dominate discussion here at Parliament House, along with the security situation on the Korean Peninsula.


On same sex marriage, there is now 14 days for all Australians to register their details with the Australian Electoral Commission if they want to have their say in the postal ballot.


A High Court challenge to the postal ballot could be formally lodged in the High Court this morning, with Tasmanian MP Andrew Wilkie and many others claiming it is unconstitutional and illegitimate.


One former High Court judge who won't be vote in the postal ballot is Michael Kirby, who says it is a "completely unacceptable" option and makes him feel like a second class citizen.


Mr Kirby, an old friend of the Prime Minister, is an advocate for same sex marriage. He's been in a relationship with his male partner Johan van Vloten for 50 years, but cannot wed.


He says the postal vote is just an unscientific opinion poll and it makes him feel disrespected as a citizen.


Shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus and same sex marriage advocate Rodney Croome have called for people to strongly support change, should the postal plebiscite survive the legal challenge.


Here's Michael Kirby:


" I mean it's just a complete political improvisation and it's completely unacceptable and it should stop and I feel as a citizen I'm being treated in a second class way and I'm not going to take any part in it whatsoever. "

Boycott: 'A spit in the eye'

Liberal backbencher Andrew Laming has launched an attack on those calling for boycott of the postal ballot:


For Australians to see that kind of conduct - a spit in the eye - from the yes campaign is incredibly disappointing.


I will be urging Australians to vote however you feel on this issue, but not to boycott a plebiscite.


If you find opening an envelope, filing out a form, putting a mark on it, sealing an envelope and sending it back offensive, then I question whether you fully understand how democracy works.

Because come on, like Dutton would have such a blatantly pro-public transport policy.

I'm absolutely going to be writing a big, hefty post on Facebook about the stupidity of abstaining from the postal plebiscite, I'll probably cross-post it here too if I think it doesn't suck.
