Sorry mate, the issue is boring and the post is honest. I'm going to vote in the thing to support the gay people I know. I think everyone should just do that instead of getting caught up in some revolutionary fervour and flatly demonstrate that this is a widely and deeply felt issue rather than let the vote fall by the wayside because it's dumb.

We need to take the reins from the boomers on this stuff and if we aren't going to slaughter them in the streets we might as well fill in a loving form even though nothing will happen anyway. It just reinforces the position.

I understand people abstaining but I'd prefer that people reflected some strong data for Shorten to use when he is PM.

I though you were just taking the piss before, sorry. I feel pretty much entirely the same way fwiw.

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.

by this logic everyone should have supported the original plebiscite bill as it was the first time the 'door' was 'opened'.

and let me ask you: are you gay?

No, the logic is different. There was a different door available then, and we could all vote against a plebiscite in favour of a parliamentary vote, because we think a plebiscite is a bad idea. But now it's here, it's going ahead. There's just the one door. If you want it done soon at least. They don't want us to walk through it, and we might hate the door, but it's open, and we can walk though it. Actually gently caress walking, dance through it.

Also, I said "can I ask". There's a difference there too. But sure, I will let you ask, and the answer is no. A guy went down on me once but that was kind of an accident.

Matter of fact, I'm salty now.
Well technically this isn't a door, but actually a sign up sheet for maybe opening a door but there will be people who will use this to gently caress the cause so thats why I advocate doing it.

Maybe we should just let the betting odds be the result and be done with it? Seems a fair bit faster and probably more accurate than the actual vote.

I don't want to see a no campaign because it will hurt people, but anger is also a great motivator to take action and will likely turn out more yes than no votes.

E: my dad is an example of this, if left to his own devices he'd probably go "waste of time, should be in parliament, not participating" but if he sees the ACL running ads on TV or if an activist dares approach him at the shops he will immediately go to DEFCON1 gently caress religion and vote a hundred times.

At one point a woman "twerks" against a policeman, while his colleague embraces another female patron for more than a minute. Both men are armed and in police uniform.

The two officers make no attempt to rebuff the women during the 10-minute interlude near the club's dance floor.

The video footage, which is expected to cause further embarrassment for Victoria Police, was taken at 1.17am - about 90 minutes before police received an anonymous triple zero call about a man armed with a gun at the function.

Oh for the heady days of garbage city.

Guys, lets not campaign to boycott. Lets campaign to ballot stuff. Lets turn this farce into a proper farce.

Australia has voted. We've had 50 million responses from a population of 25 million.

They will probably print your personal details and a special code on the ballots to prevent tampering. The normal rules don't apply, so gently caress it why not. They're not going to make it a plain ballot that you can just photocopy...

But if 50 copies of my personal ballot get sent in, what do they do? Discount all of them?

Only count the first one that gets scanned in, and then send you a fine for sending in multiple copies... This is probably the most solved problem out of all the issues they are facing with it.

Given that they are explicitly going around the usual legal processes is there even anything in law as punishment for fraudulently voting?
