Treacherous Conservatives

Originally posted by eagle888 ↑

The Conservative right of the liberal Party are demonstrating
their treacherous traits in respect to the same sex marriage issue.

After claiming they would accept the verdict of the people they
even before the outcome is known want to hijack the Bill that
is needed to give effect to SSM should they YES vote prevail.

These people have no mandate if the YES vote gets up!

Its my opinion that the conservative agenda is not only just aimed at
introducing measures to discriminate against the LGBT community
but its also part of the continued sniping and wrecking aimed at Turnbull
personally and also his team. Whatever the faults of the Turnbull govt
the attacks by the fringe conservatives are a disgrace and imo Abbott
has to carry much of the responsibility for what has been happening.

The very public wrecking has been a factor in causing the early failure
of the Turnbull govt.

I don’t know what the outcome of the SSM vote will be, but if it's a
resounding YES vote and the Conservative right continue with their
treachery and introduce a seperate Bill to discriminate against
gay people then voters should judge their treachery very harshly at
the ballot box. The Bill that the conservatives want to try and
pass reportedly could see the ludicrous situation where someone can
be refused the purchase of a meal or some other item because they are
gay or have a gay partner. Such is illegal to to do now but apparently the
conservatives Bill, would try to make such discrimination legal.

Those in Parliament who vote for the conservative Bill will imo be targeted
by both YES voters generally as well as other citizens concerned at the war the
conservatives want to continue against gay people. The LGBT community are
also certainly entitled to do so.

Of course if the YES vote does not get up then no Bill will be presented.

We will know the result tomorrow.

Disclosure: I am a practising Catholic and voted YES!

Hi Eagle, I think you are wrong on a few points. Firstly, I voted, NO, that's my choice and I have my reasons , I was relieved to have the opportunity to vote. We were constantly told beforehand the survey showed a 70:30 YES outcome vote and it was a waste of money. The pollies have wasted more money on this Citizen crap and for years they have been arguing about SSM. The 120million was well spent. It brings the matter to a Halt, is Fair and the outcome is decided without further debate. If YES, the result gives respect to LGBTQ community.

Odds are decisively in favour of a Labor victory next election and Shorten has stated whatever the outcome he will push a Bill through. So a Bill WILL get pushed through one way or another and whether we like it or not.This is a discriminatory statement in itself. In No way is Abbott to blame for Turnbulls shortcomings. The buck should always stop at the top. A leader leads by example and Turnbull certainly doesn't inspire much! That's being kind in my book!
