Gov No campaigners to fight to defeat parliament passing of marriage equality

Yes folks, you read that right. Those in the gov against marriage equality won't be heeding the results of the postal survey at all, if as expected the survey delivers an overwhelming Yes vote. After fighting tooth and nail to have the survey, they will oppose the results.
Mr Turnbull now faces the task of clearing sufficient parliamentary time in the last sitting fortnight of the year, to design, debate, and pass a private member's bill - given his oft-made prediction that the parliament would reflect the survey outcome. 

But "no" campaigners within the Coalition party room see the parliamentary debate as their last best hope of either defeating the same-sex marriage push, or limiting its reach if it does become law. Sydney Morning Herald
So why did they put us through all of this then? Either they were completely delusional and thinking that most Australians would vote no, or it's been nothing more that a sadistic exercise in hatred against LGBT people.

Watch next as the lunar right of the gov tries to turn marriage equality in to marriage apartheid, wanting exemptions for business owners who refuse to serve gay people.
Why should someone in a comercial business be able to refuse anyone service because of their sexuality?

The survey is now at around 75% return rate, a huge participation rate for something that wasn't compulsory, as voting normally is in Australia. Polling suggest 6 to 4 in favour.
