The Same Sex Marriage Plebiscite
"A plebiscite on same-sex marriage is looking less likely, with the Federal Opposition determined to have a parliamentary vote to change marriage laws instead."

This plebiscite will cost $160 million. That means every Australian will pay $7.50 for it to happen.
It's non-binding on politicians. That means that politicians with fixed views on the matter can still vote however they like. There is no guarantee that the public will get what it wants, no matter what the result of the plebiscite is.
Campaigning for a "NO" on such a plebiscite will be an opportunity for those who hate the idea of gay marriage to tell gay people they are lesser humans, and to tell the children of such people that their parents are incapable of being good parents. It will lead to higher levels of depression among such people, and possible suicides.
It really is a pointless, expensive exercise, unless the point is to delay or avoid same-sex marriage entirely.
