The way the current and hopeless Federal Government is here in Australia, I cannot see it becoming legal any time soon to be honestย
Despite the majority of the populations saying YES, the Government asks for, and keeps delaying, a plebasite (not sure of spelling sorry) that basically will be biased against legalising gay marriage anyway.ย The voters here, and the other political parties, have all said NO to this, the plebecite thing,ย but the Government insists that this is what the voters want. This is going to cost the current Government a huge amount of money to hold, and in view of the current financial state or our country, well why do they want to waste more money when it could have been done, and should have been done by parliament decree or something, a long time ago. Hmmโฆgo figure.ย
It makes me wonder why they keep delaying this issue, and then it disappears for a little while then it is brought back into the public eyes, and it all starts over again....
Why don't politicians listen to the voters, and just stop being hypocrites, and just get it done so we can have the same ceremony as the rest of the community?ย
Proud to be gay in Australia?ย Yeh right, I can't marry the man I want and he can't marry me, and yet if we were to live together, various Government departments recognise us as a co-habiting "couple", although that is only for their own monetary controls.
That's my opinion, so YES, let's get some sense into the whole equality issue, and just legalise same sex marriage here in Australia !!
