Now with the election looming, it's evidently too hard for the plebiscite issue to be on the table, it being called a "distraction". Yes folks, David and I getting married is a "distraction" from the so called more important issues of evil union lawlessness and economic management.
So now there won't even be the wording of the plebiscite released before the election. We are supposed to trust the Lieberals you see and vote for them when they can't even release the wording for the election. How pathetic.
The Turnbull government has shelved plans to produce the framework and wording for a plebiscite on same-sex marriage until after the election that is now expected on July 2.I wonder how straight people would feel if their right to marry was treated like this.
