So its important because the Libs said they'd hold a plebiscite?
Sweet, I get that, its important because its an election promise and they should be held to it.

I suppose Labor can claim their trying to keep an election promise by opposing it - but they didn't win the election, so they should really let it happen.

It's all ****ing vote grabbing anyway - and that's what really shits me.

Libs promise to hold a plebiscite (that they don't need to listen to the result of anyway) - so they can appease one side of the voters without pissing off the others too much
and the Labor mob beat their chest saying they support the act being amended - so they can appease the other side of voters

fair enough - but this issue is one being impacted by religious beliefs, and last I checked I thought we were a secular society.
