Not the norm as per slippery slope theory, the Australian parliament is to full of old dinosaurs for such a revolution (hence why we're so late and so hesitant to talk about marriage equality) , so much as I'm worried about them receiving less scrutiny by the opposition when they are tabled for fear of adopting that negative association of the 'no voter', and hence losing public support. In addition to this, I'm also concerned about the increased leverage that activist groups will have on politics on these issues now that they have a foot in the door.
Currently, I have two chief political concerns in Australia, one of which is the proliferation of leftist ideologies in state schools. It might make me a heretic to the cause to say this, but personally I'm not in favor of the complete erasure of gender lines or the full erosion of traditionalism, so my vote is for continued scrutiny of these policies in the face of a shifting political landscape.
I see. Well, again, I understand your train of thought, and while I don't think this vote is as powerful as you think, I guess that's a debate about a different topic to be had on a different thread.

Remember, if you are an Aussie overseas, you can and should still vote yes! If you have a permanent address, you should receive a ballot in the mail, as if you were still living in Australia.
