Mr Abbott attempted to kick the SSM marriage vote down the road.
He was resolutely determined never to let the people decide. He made the decision.
Now that Mr Turnbull has got party support for a Postal Survey.
Then it was proclaimed that very few would return their survey forms.
We are hearing that over 80% have responded.
The PM's confidence in the people's good sense has proved decisive.
Now most commentators are predicting a big YES victory The Mr Abbott forces are marshalling their numbers to deny the people yet again.
Mr Entsch is awake to this.
