re: The Abbott Government's Shameful Attack on the ACT Marriage Equality Laws
1. You are heartless and you are gutless.
2. When you ought to be eliminating discrimination, instead you are entrenching it.
3. When you told us us you had no time in government to support marriage equality, you instead found time to oppose it.
4. When you told us you would govern for all Australians, you meant instead that you would govern as certain powerful entrenched institutions directed you to.
5. When you compare your policy on marriage equality with the Liberal Party Principles on its web site you will immediately be aware that your oppposition to marriage equality is in direct conflict with the Principles you say you stand for.
6. Shame on you.
