Yes,
and undoubtedly, but still better than anything coming out of Abbott's face hole.

That's both horrendous yet unsurprising. By that I mean ... hateful people like this have existed forever. Passionate topics like this seem to nudge them further towards making their hateful thoughts more vocal.
I've seen some pretty hateful stuff written towards the no side, but ... it always seems less violent and less "I'll follow you home" in nature.
The grammar could be explained by this:

Saw an article today with a few quotes from Peter Sutton- a guy who has said he is against gay marriage but will vote with what the plebiscite/postal survey says, 1, that it's going to be a vote for change and added the following.
"The other aspect I might say about the postal vote is that I think it gives a greater legitimacy to a significant social change and I think for same-sex couples if there is to be change, if there is to be legislative change, I think that is best to be done with the support of millions of Australians demonstrated through a ballot as opposed to a five-to-midnight crossing of the floor of four people," he said
Now you might not be dragging Abbott and Abetz into this century but it sort of looks like you can drag Peter Sutton into it.....

^ drag pun intended?
Abbott's recent climate change outburst shows he isn't even in last century yet.

.....or it's a weak ploy to keep both sides of the "debate", in his electorate, placated.Saw an article today with a few quotes from Peter Sutton- a guy who has said he is against gay marriage but will vote with what the plebiscite/postal survey says, 1, that it's going to be a vote for change and added the following.

Yet that method gave legitimacy to legislation against same sex marriage?
The hypocrisy is really starting to make my eyes bleed.

The breakdown of stats is quite interesting.

I really thought the younger generation (those who I perceived were the main driving force) would have a high turnout rate than older people. Turns out was the opposite. I guess older people are more responsive to physical mail?

There’s a few from NSW that sit at the bottom of the list. Wonder if it’s a demographic with immigrants and associated religious beliefs?
I’m just happy it’s not QLD Queensland leading the charge. We’re not the full bogans everyone thinks we are (I can say this for a week until One Nation has the balance of power).

Yep, watch those (like Abbott) who are anti-democratic now, without a care for what the majority want, obstruct the will of the people to fight for their personal interests rather than that of the electorate.

Not the town Blaxland where Mountain Men like Mountin' women.
Seat of Blaxland is more likely to have a higher rate folks born overseas and bit of melting pot.

I had expected a stronger victory for the yes campaign.
The resounding Yes result only means two things to me:
1) People who bothered to vote do actually care about their fellow humans and wish to aim towards a peaceful equal world. Fucking bang on Australia! Thats rad!
2) The political side of things means we can now make a play to get a plebiscite and a mail out happening so mountain bikers can vote Yes for more gravity Mountain Bike Parks with chairlifts in Australia or No to being massively boring fuckheads with super dooper limited vision. This is the real issue here folks.

That is a really tough question. The heavy no seats in NSW are where there are a lot of Muslims who one may assume voted on their religious beliefs. By our setup he has to represent their views and vote against.
It's the other side of the coin from the Abbott situation. Clare can say "I have to do the will of the electorate" and vote against. Or he can say "I have to support democracy and the majority is for so I cannot vote against but I will not vote for, as per the will of the electorate".
Can you abstain from voting in Parliament?
