TODAY the Turnbull Government revealed a postal vote on same sex marriage could cost $122 million but that’s nothing compared to the cost of a full plebiscite.
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says Australians will get a say on same-sex marriage before the end of the year, pending any court challenge to a postal vote. Picture: Lukas Coch/AAPTHE Government’s plan for a national plebiscite on same-sex marriage won’t come cheap. And, as usual, it will be the taxpayer picking up a significant portion of the tab.
While the government revealed today the cost of a voluntary postal plebiscite could cost taxpayers $122 million, the cost of a full plebiscite will be much higher.
Consultants PwC have put the full cost of a plebiscite at $525 million, made up of $160 million for the ballot itself, $66 million to fund the “yes” and “no” cases, and $281 million in lost productivity.
