Marriage is just an expensive party that a lot of people can't really afford, but do it anyway for tradition.

I dumped the T.V. and the radio months ago. Thought I could escape the whole pathetic farce here... but I guess not. I'll have to be a lot more discriminating in the threads I read.

The tax laws, medical responsibility and relationship, heredity taxes and quite a few other corners are different.
De facto is not the same at all.
Try fighting your relations for your husband's or wife's estate..... no chance.

So long as someone's choices in life does no harm to others, why would anyone have an issue or object?
Live and let live. Give EVERYONE the same rights, FULLSTOP.

The only thing momentous about this whole thing is what a momentous waste of money it was.
It should have been done decades ago, without all the fuss and expense. I don't view it as a monumental day in history, but rather the day stupidity came to an end.

Not law until tomorrow Mike.
And NEVER say forever - even Australia's Constitution can be amended.

I have always wondered what the results (percentage of Yes/No votes) would have been like if the "Yes Campaign" didn't go out and campaign.... There were a lot of people that felt really disenfranchised by the Yes Campaign and voted No for that reason.

I really was pi$$ed off by the "Yes" campaigners sending out SMS's - as were a LOT of Australians. They should NOT have done that, as that is intrusive.
"No" campaign? Where? Never saw it even once in CBR.

I voted yes for several reasons but mainly for one of my sisters. I hope she can return to Australia with her partner and their child to live permanently rather than being forced to live in the US because Australia did not have same sex marriage and they could not get a resident visa for her partner. This I see as a great implication and only just. I don't see all the BS about the repercussions of the legislation changing. Does it really affect anyone if people get married? No. Anyway I am glad the legislation passed.

Although an important issue as is the citizenship thing whilst we focus on such issues we miss the tax avoidance that seems to be ignored....I presume it is still ignored on the basis I hear zip about the issue in the news.
