I've had mates a couple suburbs over get theirs already, but waiting on mine still.

I still get a shitload of mail for a few former tenants here. So I'm hoping they haven't updated their electoral details so they can all definitely vote yes too

Lucky you were there to witness and provide us with your judgement

I'm a tad more circumspect with Facebook news.

Don't mouth off Facebook Jimmy, it's the place to go if you want to find out who's just had a sandwich (60 likes).

Got mine today.... not sure what to do with it though. I have no issue with gay marriage, why is it that only the straight can be miserable?

I thought of your post here yesterday when I went to look over a rental property I own between tenants, and found three addressed to two lots of former tenants in the mail box. In the end I gave them to the rental agent to return to sender.

the irony of a catholic archbishop telling anyone, or anything, else to "stay out of the bedroom"..... they obviously dont give their sermons a practice run at all do they?

The video of his speech came up on my fb feed this morning and I couldn’t tell which side he was arguing for! His arguments are more valid for the yes campaign

I reckon we'll get a 60 - 40 in favour of yes, but hoping for a bigger margin.
