With the economy and unemployment and other more pressing issues to occupy his premiership, I would think the matter of gay marriage would be the least of his concerns.

It boggles the mind why the issue of gay marriage has taken on such prominence in recent times.

How many votes is there in the gay marriage issue?

What about the ramifications of the Trans Pacific Partnership that we hear so little about, and if and when implemented, will adversely affect more Australians than the gay marriage issue.

Why doesn’t Bill concentrate on these and other more pressing matters? Perhaps Bill would like to share with the public how much money the gay lobby is funnelling into the coffers of the Australia Labor Party.

C’mon Bill, be upfront with the Aussie public.

We are tired of politicians concentrating on the minors while the majors are being neglected.
