The Voice and SSM
The Prime Minister has likened constitutional change for a race-based Voice to the 2017 change to the Marriage Act. He is right to draw the comparison but not for the reasons he does. Anthony Albanese asserts there were no consequences to de-gendering marriage and similarly there will be no consequences to changing the nation’s rule book based on race. The last time we had a Yes campaign, at the 2017 marriage plebiscite, Yes told us no one else’s rights would be affected. Yes, PM - the Voice and same-sex marriage are similar but not for the reasons you say Sound familiar?
