Same reason that Adam Bandt isn't allowed to control his vote - Brown controlled it now it's Milne
can you be a bit clearer .... what exactly is the reason for Tony not allowing a conscience vote?
Why would he. He knows the only way to vote on this is to allow the people a referendum.
Why would he? Because he is the leader of the party that is supposed to stand for personal choice. L.I.B.E.R.A.L
we know that when we vote for a Labor representative that we vote for the Party and Party members must tow the Party line or be expelled. that is Labor rules.
But the Liberals (supposedly) stand for the individual. Not on Tony's watch it seems.
But we all know why. All that lycra and hanging around with Jonesy. I smell lavender.
Tony wants to keep the closet closed.
The only way to get what you wanted, is if all pollies were independents.
Yes. I agree that Rob Oakshote, Tony Windsor, Andrew Wilkie, Tommo, Slippery Pete and Bob Katter have done an excellent job in the current Parliament.
But you have not explained why the so-called "Leader" of the Party of "individual free choice" is acting like Stalin and refusing his members the right to vote as they feel.
Why is Tony Abbott a Communist? THat whole "Great Big New Tax" he wants to bring in to pay polluters from tax-payer dollars..I means seriously...is that Communism or what?!?!?
You should get out of Australian politics. you dont seem to have any idea of what a party does and how it votes.
The leader will do what he thinks the community wants, not what some activists demand or manipulate to look like the community wants it.
A good leader will get a referendum for the people to vote on.
Sorry Champ. !00% wrong again. As usual.
The Australian Labor Party has rules. A Labor member must vote with the party or be expelled. We have known that for 100 years.
THat is the point of difference with the Liberal Party. The Liberal Party is supposed to be the party of individuals. A Liberal Leader demanding a vote of one of his members is apalling.
As for a referendum...WTF do you think a referendum is?!?!?
What part of the Constitution do you want changed you moron?!?!?
You really are completely clueless aren't you.
That is why you keep getting caught telling lies:
http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1351811172/94#94 Why should those, other than Gays, care about if they are married or not?
Even the more intelligent gays realise, that in the scheme of things, what does a marriage certificate matter these days?
Would it make their bedroom antics more acceptable?
I'm sure that a solicitor would write a document whereupon, a bereaved Gay would inherit his deceased partner's possessions.
There is enough bullying in schools without inflicting more nourishment to teasing such as having two fathers or two mothers.
