PM pushes for public vote on gay marriage, page-21

"bbott may think he's won a victory but that's only because he has no idea what the public thinks on the issue,"

U don't think the news of the Irish vote didn't filter through to Australia? It was Billshortonideas first idea of his tenure and came 2 days after the Irish vote. I could imagine Billshortonideas sitting srounf the table saying. "We need an idea". Then BANG, the Irish gave him one.
