So not a fan of this crap. Certain politicians don’t want to take responsibility for their bigoted views, so they ask citizens to decide and then stir up smear campaigns and misinformation. And so many people buy it.

Gay marriage was banned in 2004 by John Howard’s government and it only got made legal again in 2017 because the hatemongering/sabotage didn’t work and the numbers passed. (There are legal differences but the underlying plan was the same.)
