I believe that this decision will do anything but lay the matter to rest as survey after survey show the public is ready to embrace gay marriage. Those who believe Bolt that a referendum or plebsicite is the best and fairest way to go forget that it is the government that phrases the question that is asked at such polls. It's easy enough to get any result you want by how you set up the question. You have only to look at how John Howard doomed the vote on the republic even though most Australians at the time were in favour of a republic.
