this whole thing is torturous, like pulling off a Band-Aid slowly. For the love of god call the vote and lets get it done. I'm pretty confident we all KNOW the right answer here, but the longer this drags out the less confident I am that the right answer is gonna get the votes it needs. Leaving it till October just lets Murdoch spin up more fear and hate.
Yeah I suspect Gov are hoping that waiting till the end of the year will give the right-wing windbags time to run out of fear-mongering steam, not sure if it'll work. It'd be nice if the debate was a bit less emotive by then.
It wont work. It gives them more time to sow fear and disinformation. What we NEED is decisive leadership.
