WhiskeyWhiskers posted:Not if Labor whip over it, why would Labor allow a conscience vote if Yes wins? That is the party position ? That said I believe Chris Hayes wrote that he would respect the result of the plebiscite so they might vote yes. It will easily pass if the plebiscite wins. Just maybe not every labor MP will vote in favour of it.

Yeah, I don't think MT is capable of going out in a blaze of glory. It does seem now that he really just doesn't care about anything, rather than being paralyzed by a fear of a spill.

He is still gonna get a spill. Backbenchers give less of a gently caress than Turnbull.

JBP posted:Turnbull needs to think about his legacy at this stage.] Turnbull's kidding himself if he thinks his legacy is going to be anything but 'fuckgoddamnit why is my internet so slow gently caress I hate dealing with nbnco' There really is nothing worse you can do in politics than actively annoy every single voter on a personal level.

JBP posted:He's demonstrably vindictive enough to do this if there's nothing left to lose, which there isn't. See, I doubt that such arguments have any hold on him. I've seen nothing in his behaviour that suggests so. I'm more inclined to believe he is staying PM long enough to get the most out of the superannuation benefits, since the old scheme was retired in 2004. He might act if he feels betrayed, that's the one thing he has been known to act on. Things have to get a lot worse before that.

Don Dongington posted:I expect Malcolm knows that he has Entsch, Pyne, Frydenberg and Bishop in his corner and that's really all he needs to get a non-lovely bill through the house. Likewise in the senate, Brandis, Birmingham and a few others + the ALP, lionhat, Xenophon and the Greens would sail it through comfortably.

Bunnies wants business to publicly out themselves as homophobes so they know not to give them any business (and more than likely a lot of places would not agree to put up a sign since they have some semblance of shame about their position). Gorilla Salad thinks allowing that will turn country towns into Nazi death camps complete with stars for gays/jews? idgi

Want to know how an MP is planning to vote on marriage equality? The ABC has a good site. E: The blanks are for MPs who haven't responded. Sadly you can't sort by party but there are a lot more Liberal MPs in favour than you probably think.

I agree. I don't think the more conservative bill is going to get anywhere near voting, so hopefully it's all a moot point. Companies that are really screeching homophobes will all make public comment and see their business dwindle anyway.
