[QUOTE="Occams Barber, post: 71988719, member: 313365"] One of the most surprising things about this result is that it was not part of an official vote or a plebiscite or a referendum. The results are not binding on the government. In theory parliament could still vote no Australians were asked to participate in a completely voluntary postal [B]survey[/B] on Same Sex Marriage. In effect a giant opinion poll. In Australia voting is normally compulsory. In spite of being completely voluntary and non binding (on the government), [B]80%[/B] of Australians participated and voted overwhelmingly (62%=Yes; 38%= No) in favour of same sex marriage. The 80% [B]voluntary[/B] participation rate sets some sort of world record. OB (Edited to fix incorrect 'No' %) [/QUOTE]
