The anti-democratic Bill Shorten, responsible for making all Labor MPs/senators vote for SSM, has the impudence to label all SSM opponents as haters.
if the Left really thinks that a plebiscite would result in a hate speech wave, what does it think forcing a law through on a parliamentary vote will do? Leave everyone pacified?
Re the plebiscite staging cost of $160 million, if a Gillard/Swan-type ‘same-sex marriage levy’ were introduced, it would cost Australians only 1.8 cents per day for the next year to pay for the plebiscite. This is chicken feed compared with the billions of dollars wasted by Labor when in government.
