Of course, I am delighted that it has happened and I think that the principal knows what he is doing. I am looking forward to the outcome and all of the strife that this country is throwing itself at. Around 8 million Australians didn't bother to vote. A lot of potential for a bit of simmering there. Not surprisingly, there has been no comment about the 'tyranny of the majority' from the loony Left, which always comes up with that when their precious minorities are threatened by democracy. There will be a lot of entertainment to be had from this latest moral bankruptcy.

Bollocks. The ABS sent out 16,006,180 forms, and received 12,727,920 responses.

16,006,180 - 12,727,920 = 3,278,260

3,278,260 =/= 8,000,000

QED

So Toni, what happened to the other 3plus million that didn't make it back for the count? Could it be they were part of a disgusting and focused plan of attack, disruption and destruction the YES mob put out to destroy and de-validate the NO votes by ensuring they either did not make it back for the final count or by any other means possible.

What next?
Gary Dowsett
The longtime Deputy Director of ARCSHS is Prof. Gary Dowsett, and he has been Acting Director on two occasions, for a significant period of time. The first was in 2000, from January to August; and the second was in 2010, from July to December. Hence, the “Safe Schools” program (launched in October 2010) was launched during a period when Dowsett was Acting Director. [Source: ARCSHS Annual Report 2010]

In 1982, he authored an article for the journal ‘Gay Information‘ [issue no. 11, pp. 34-38], which was published by a Sydney-based organisation called ‘Gay Information Service’. The article was titled ‘Boiled Lollies and Bandaids: Gay Men and Kids‘ (click here to view the original). Here are some excerpts:

“First, we have three legal/social questions to win: custody rights for gay men and lesbians; the legal right of paedophiles and their young loves; and finally, the sexual rights of children as a whole.”
“And I also have a friend, a paedophile, who is working very hard on making sense out of his relations with boys. Those relations consist of, among other things, a large amount of nurture and support for these boys, a real caring for their welfare and growth.”

“How different then is that gentle, tentative sexuality between parent and child from the love of a paedophile and his/her lover? From all their accounts and from many academic studies (some worse than others), that kind of love, warmth, support and nurture is an important part of the paedophilic relationship.”

They abstained. You can't expect perfect participation when voting is voluntary. 80% was a pretty good turnout.

Josephus, I don't believe what I read in your post. Really? Am I getting it right or am I too old to understand what is going on. What I read if I get it, is disgusting and the people involved should be rounded up and taken past the prison gates to place where they would be stoned to death as was the punishment of the day. Don't bother with incarceration it just fine tunes their disgusting twisted and demented life style. Oh I hope I mis-understood your post.
