In an impassioned plea to the Australian government, morning television host Karl Stefanovic has labelled the Government’s proposed plebiscite vote “complete BS”.
“A non-binding, non-compulsory postal vote is complete BS,” he said on air this morning. “There have been far too many column inches, far too much air time, far too much tax-payer time and money wasted on an issue I believe should be decided in the parliament.”
This comes after the Liberal Party shut down Labor’s latest bid to take the issue to a conscience vote, meaning the plebiscite is the only way forward – if it can make it through the Senate.

Both parties have made this political, to their shame. The ALP can't take any high ground as they had opportunity when in power to make changes but faffed about
Yeah, I was thinking about this today. This could already be a reality in Australia if the Labor party hadn't been so stupid about it.
Why are they holding the line on this particularly election promise? They break election promises ALL THE TIME. The world is moving on, listen to the constituents ( only demographic with minority support for SSM is males over 65) and get a he legislation through!!
And the pollies pushing for plebiscite to keep the "promise" have gone on record saying they'll oppose SSM anyways...political posturing at its finest.
