It's the tribe that counts, not the truth : Comments

By Tim O'Hare, published 14/11/2017

There were some perfunctory 'violence is never okay' statuses shared on Twitter. At worst, there has been undermining of Abbott's description of events and, even worse, celebration of the assault.

Law of averages has it, there will be a covert backlash against homosexuals. It's how it works!

everyone except the abc admit that the new marxist are violent intolerant and self righteous. Look at the air play abc gave to poor Sam being called a few names while himself being a racist himself banging on about 'white male privilege'. Compar thatd with the physical violence tagainst Abbott. The left are bigooted, nasty and spitful. Look at Hilary's tantrum throwers who defend the indefensible by desteroying property and beatung people. Yes it is the tribe that counts and the most bigotted, intolerant and irrational are the leftist marxist by a long way.

The postal vote thankfully concluded last Friday! And here today, we have a disgruntled author, apparently trying to make Tony, if you don't see it in writing, Abbott's version of events, the truth?

In any event, what is this article seeking to achieve?

Let me guess, the folk that resisted every way, every day, with their endless conflated mischievous and vexatious no, not now not ever, I'll die in a ditch first, NO vote, now want to be the authors of the legislation governing SSM civil marriage legislation!?

And nearly as obvious as a telegraphed haymaker!

Moreover, these conservative folk need to be identified and remembered when we go to the polls to elect the next government! And to hammer home as nothing else might what the public think of all the divisive tactics used to try and sway folk to the NO case side! Even if it irreparably divided families and the nation!

Control freak folk, who don't like us our rights and freedoms, remain perfectly free to take themselves and their stone age belief systems elsewhere! And good riddance! Nor we shouldn't reward anyone of them at the ballot box neither! Anyone else but them!

Super article.

Seems that those who put down one dollar on Same Sex Marriage (SSM) betting face such odds as:

Majority Yes vote for SSM: $1.60

Majority No against SSM: $2.25

My prediction is that, of votes that are not informal around:
- 60% will vote Yes
- 40% No

60% would mean that less than 50% of eligible voters voted for SSM.

All this means Parliament will not feel compelled to pass legislation making SSM legal.

Yeah, right on brother! About time somebody stood up to these PC lefties in favour of people's right to call brown skinned-people 'monkeys'!

" Assault on a former Prime Minister represents a breakdown in civil debate, a disregard for democracy and free speech".

Wrong , democracy ended when Abbott was a sexist mysogynist-misgigynst-mosygnast anyway he wasn't nice to Julia , threw out the Constitution and ended free speech. hang on , that's the police at the doo
