don't want to say that the government are getting desperate but Christopher Pyne was going off his nut in QT claiming that asking advice from NZ Labour meant that the ALP are probably colluding with the Chinese Communist Party as well

also i know the cost is completely besides the point, but pay me $12.2 million and i'll conduct this survey by mail. how in the world can it cost $122 million, that's insane. seriously, someone pay me $12.2 million, i will do great things with the money.

one thing i would do: i insert the words "<<< You're a complete asshole" by the YES option
we're allowed to draw dicks on the form so

ftr it's actually true
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has confirmed to BuzzFeed News that ballot papers with graffiti on them will be considered valid in the upcoming same-sex marriage postal survey, as long as a "yes" or "no" vote is clearly legible.
― rove mcmanus island (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 05:25 (six years ago) link
oh no, i'm saying as administrator of the survey i would insert the words "You're a complete asshole" by the YES option on every single ballot. it's not ethical, but sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 05:30 (six years ago) link
and by the NO option it says something like "hey, you're alright!"
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 05:31 (six years ago) link
that would not surprise me tbh

every state and territory premier/first minister supports marriage equality. the prime minister too (i call bullshit on that but at least he claims to). so the only leader currently in power who doesn't support marriage equality is actually a kiwi.
― rove mcmanus island (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 16 August 2017 02:51 (six years ago) link
and therefore, ironically, is the only leader who could marry a partner of the same sex if he so chose. (Said yesterday but worth saying again)
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Wednesday, 16 August 2017 03:39 (six years ago) link
ironic then that the only nationwide political leader who opposes marriage equality is the only one who's allowed to do it by citizenship
― rove mcmanus island (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 16 August 2017 05:20 (six years ago) link
it's pretty ironic that Barnaby Joyce could marry a man if he wanted to, when he's the only national political leader actively barring other people from doing so, don't you think
― shackling the masses with plastic-wrapped snack picks (sic), Wednesday, 16 August 2017 05:44 (six years ago) link
You know what's ironic? Joyce is the only leader who could get gay-married, but unlike the others he hates the gays!
― Mince Pramthwart (James Morrison), Wednesday, 16 August 2017 06:07 (six years ago) link
so it's ironic that he can marry a man even though he's opposed to it in his capacity as a political leader
― rove mcmanus island (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 16 August 2017 06:37 (six years ago) link
it's pretty ironic that Barnaby Joyce's head kinda looks like a kiwifruit

In Australia it is not legal to marry an object and no one has ever proposed that it should be legalised.

went to the melbourne rally yesterday. estimates of 20,000+ are otm, it was properly enormous. i've never seen even half that many at a rally. it took just under half an hour for the march to funnel through one junction.
before the march started an old guy came up to about 30 of us and yelled that we were going to bleed in hell or some shit. then he threw his coffee at us and i lost my shit and screamed back at him (i have never ever done this before btw). he turned and charged right at me, and my 70 year old mother-in-law pulled me back. police chased him down the street and we never saw him again.

I was amused by the coverage yesterday that suggested that liberals in marginal seats are not altogether thrilled by the addition of 100,000 people to the electoral role (and many more updating their details) in a country with compulsory voting.
