It's official, inequality will remain in Australia.

This probably won't affect many of you, but as almost all Australians should know Tony Abbott is our new PM. I just can't believe that this country would elect someone who refuses to recognize same sex relationships and therefore does not support same sex marriage, especially when Kevin Rudd was in support of it! It just makes me so angry, its not even gay rights. It is human rights, and wall this bullsh*t about the sanctity of marriage is just as bad, celebrities ruined it along time ago. I don't really have a question other than, how can this even happen in our country in this day and age? I just really need to vent. Haha thanks.

Australia is my favorite country so I have been following and have formed the opinion that the PM is better on more important issues (immigrants and the economy)

I know there are of course more important issues and I know he isn't incompetent, but the fact that same sex marriage is even an "issue" just makes me so mad.

All I have to say is this.

Now Australia has lost it's position in Top 5 countries to live in.

I'd disagree with the immigrants part, boat refugees at this point are apparently going to be turned back to their country of origin. In my opinion a person would not risk taking their entire family onto some dank leaky boat inbound for Australia if there wasn't something seriously wrong with the country they're coming from. Australia has a duty of care to all refugees in my opinion, otherwise what's the point of promoting ourselves as such a humanitarian country.
As for the economy I'll wait and see how it goes, he's taking some risks and It'd be interesting to see if they'll pay off and how much public backlash there will be.
(P.s I Don't know how much you've heard about him but the PM himself is an absolute $#!+head, unless you are a straight, white, rich, catholic male you're screwed.)

We like to think the world is a civilised place. We still have a way to go until we reach that :(

It will take time to make such a change.

I'm sure he was voted in because he would do a lot of positive on the bigger issues. No one is gonna vote in a PM just because you agree with him on one issue.

It just takes a few weeks maximum to pass the law and implement it, on the other hand, it takes years or even decades to fix the economy and immigrant problems.

At least that annoying lady is gone.

You are an alarmist.

Ugh, they need to hurry this up. It should've been legal a long time ago.
