Dear Shadow Minister,

It is certain that there will be quite a few politicians
who campaigned for the "No" vote in the survey who will
use delaying tactics in Parliament - especially regarding
the Dean Smith Bill being passed.
This Bill has already been thoroughly scrutinised and
approved by most politicians of the major parties. But of
course the "No" campaigners will work hard to delay its
passing. Hopefully they will not succeed in their efforts.
They did not succeed in the postal survey.

Dear Foxy,

«Today people are celebrating, tomorrow the Parliament will legislate»

And the day after tomorrow, bakers will be found hanging.

Yuyutsu,
You will not be able to use the words homosexual / heterosexual as they identify discrimination on sexual preference. Even to discuss the difference will be considered hate speech similar to racism.

Dear Josephus,

I do not oppose homosexual marriage as such - I only oppose any "marriage" (between any number of people/animals/things) that is conducted/registered by the state.

«You will not be able to use the words homosexual / heterosexual»

You know what, I was never interested in that topic anyway and have much better things to talk about!

Nevertheless, had I been interested, then I would still be able to do so, for the following reasons:

1) You should distinguish between the words 'able' and 'allowed', they are quite different.

2) No current law prevents me from using the words 'man', 'woman', 'negro', 'asian', 'aboriginal', 'Jew', 'Gypsy', etc. So why would 'homosexual' and 'heterosexual' be any different just because government happens to register their "marriage"?

3) Nobody would know!

Governments encourage "progress" and digital technology such as the NBN, so that people will have electronic devices in their own homes that will spy on them. I reject those devices, I don't allow them in my home, hence nobody will hear what I say to my family and friends.

Dear Josephus,

More fear mongering.

Shame on you.

Dear Yuyutsu,

You say -

Bakers will be found hanging?

I don't think that their churches would give
them their last rites if they did that.
And then look where
they'd end up - in hell.

Perhaps it would be more advisable for them to
move to Western Sydney where they'd find
kindred spirits.

Noticeably the majority of electorates that voted No have Labor MPs. Will they support the will of their electorates?
* Banks
* Barton
* Bennelong
* Blaxland
* Chifley
* Fowler
* Greenway
* McMahon
* Mitchell
* Parramatta
* Watson
* Werriwa
* Bruce
* Kennedy
* Groom
* Maranoa

It will be interesting, because previous surveys have shown that No voters are more likely to change their votes, which is why Labor were against SSM for so long.
