Democracy only works in some votes.....

What I said about our democratic process after the election: 

'Therefore I want to thank the Australian people. When we look at the world around us, it is fantastic that the Australian people can settle their political disagreements in thousands of school halls over sausage sizzles voting in ballot boxes.'  

What I say about the people's vote on same sex marriage: 

“Let me be as blunt as possible: a No campaign would be an emotional torment for gay teenagers and if one child commits suicide over the plebiscite, then that is one too many. Mr Speaker”

I'm all for a plebiscite as long as we only have a Yes campaign.
