Id love to float a hypothetical here.

Say the referendum fails. One of the big 'No' arguments, if you can call it that, is "wHY nEeD rEFeReNDuMB jUSt LegISLatE"

What if albo just legislates the body in.

Reckon they will be consistent and say 'see thats all you need!", or will heads melt.

Because we know, it has nothing to do with that at all

It will be repealed next time the LNP get in, just like everything else.

i agree. i would LOVE to hear what the people advocating for legislation only as their argument for a NO vote would say, because I have a little feeling they actually dont want that, they just want NO because they are either misinformed, rascist or voting purely along party lines, which is bizarre for a referendum
