So now time to move forward dear Prime Minister "jobs and growth, jobs and growth, jobs and growth" where did that go...

For every job there are 18 applicants.

Marriage celebrants, wedding venues, florists, bakers, caterers & dressmakers will boom in 2018. Any ASX-listed entities in the wedding business?

I think it's bull**** to suggest ones views should be protected, to be given the right to discriminate based on a belief system that then enjoys the protection of not being able to be discriminated itself.

People fabricate excuses all the time, they do it to not be a **** human being, to avoid litigation, to avoid an unfair dismissal, to not be punched in the face etc etc

It seems that more people are going to be tempted to tell yet more untruths in order to navigate through this "fairer" society that you appear to be advocating!

If you cannot recognise a problem with the logic you are espousing, then I thoroughly recommend that you ask one of those "skyfairy" devotees (with whom you avail yourself of the freedom to express your contempt) why it is, that the fallen angel Lucifer, (a.k.a the devil) is often referred to as "the prince of lies".

Congratulations Australia, we are now officially on the right side of history.

It is a good feeling to know the bulk of Australians could see through the nonsense of the No campaign.

I was must admit my confidence in the Aussie people did take a hit after reading all the hate that has been spat here my the No side, but my confidence in Australia has been firmly restored.

To those that voted No, I think given time you will see the world doesn't end, and you will eventually change your mind.

What a shame that people have to lie to avoid being assholes.

I'll be sure to ask one why they're sitting down with their second husband/wife, eating bacon and brandishing their gold jewellery.

Your rational is that someones faith should allow them to discriminate against the life style choices of others they begrudge but that very faith that allows them to discriminate enjoys the legal protections that they won't be discriminated against them-self. This would be quite an unreasonable arrangement.

Yeah it's definitely not democracy but mob rule. The yes group here reckons it will be good for us.

Wait until the reality bites and see who bleats the most.

 

[Value Collector]

no sitting on the fence yes or no?

Australia has spoken, the Yes vote has it.

Well that is pretty much smack on with the regression analysis relative frequency of 40% representing the innate moral population versus the relative moral population. Statistician will be happy with their predictive modelling.

They voted for John Howard, Malcolm Fraser and Kevin Rudd ...how is that right?

 

[overhang]

Quite interesting that the results reflect what polling had said from the get go, it appears many people weren't swayed either way by all the campaign. The results are what this poll indicated most the way through before it mysteriously started dropping down to 55%.

Thanks VC

Because in all three cases the alternatives were hilarious.

Incorrect!

My rationale is that truthfulness and freedom of expression are of paramount importance.

Any legislation that either encroaches on this important liberty, or fosters an environment where deceitfulness is seen as a necessary and/or acceptable alternative to truthful expression, runs counter to my understanding of what is required for the continued evolution and progress of human society.

60/40 is not a convincing victory. Will be interesting to see how it plays out in Parliament.

Partial truth, but we really know why most people vote the way they do: all to do with sheep.
