I'm sorry I come with a non crochet related plurk but can we please get this out to all the Australians on plurk?

I do personally think the plebiscite is dumb because it's expensive and non-binding BUT it's still important we let them know that we want change to happen.

~Mei~
I won't be in Australia when my vote arrives but hey I'll just get my friend to grab my mail and vote for me
~Mei~
we need change and it's so hard to make them listen. ALSO: please do not glitter bomb your votes. It will make the vote invalid.
~Mei~
I have seen the rounds on Facebook for people to glitter bomb their return votes. PLEASE DO NOT.

~Mei~
if they're gonna spend all this money at least make it binding
~Mei~

Not even the worst shit this plebiscite has stirred up honestly

There's been "stop the fags" posters pinned up in the city with razor blades hidden behind them for when ppl try to tear them down

I feel like I'd be more surprised at this point if the question WASNT fucky

Yep they did this here in the states by wording that question like that
hella
I'm really glad my stat was super clear in their wording for our vote :| But we... still lost the first time we tried, so there's that.

Duly noted, though I am always careful to read survey questions correctly so hopefully I would have got it right without reading this

If your 'protest' requires an exemption to hate speech laws you're on the wrong side

abs has already released what the question will be

which ofc still read it bc it could be changed but yeah, i don't afford our government much in the way of assumptions of their intelligence but i'm pretty sure they're smart enough to realise that a poorly worded question would just make a shitshow of an even more contentious issue.
ó broin.
like they're clearly not switched on enough to realise a postal survey is a terrible idea, but i highly doubt they'd want to deal with how much a dubious question would drag the issue out post-results

That's how California's Prop 8 was worded, sort of. Unsurprisingly, Prop 8 passed.

I hate it when they word things in a (to me) clearly misleading way

...though with luck it will lead to a few homophobes voting 'no'
Snowy Stella
Nah they're all part of a cult which will inform them how to properly vote. Never count on them being stupid enough to heck it up. That's the mistake we in California made.

And we had the added fun of the Mormons funding all the pro- prop 8 stuff.

Eesh

Yeah, never underestimate bigots. :-(

Ta for pointing this out, I hadn't thought of them bait and switch on wording. I generally don't think of them as that intelligent but some are petty enough to try. :|
