Australian Postal Survey on Marriage Law - Media Coverage

Today Perth news was far superior over Sunrise Perth news today. No comparison really.

And what was the Daily Telegraph thinking by featuring Married with Children character Al Bundy on the front page?

Just bizarre.

Trying to put a negative spin on the result to make their core demographic feel a bit better about it. A pretty bizarre reference though, I doubt many people will understand what they are on about.

Oh dear. Um, in case you hadn’t noticed, conservatives were the ones who voted Yes. Labor lefties voted no - did u notice where the No electorates were? And I voted Yes. And my statement was not about the vote. Be nicer to your fellow members.

Do you understand that rural NSW all voted Yes and those No electorates were all in Western Sydney?

I think the Tele’s front page is rather clever. A good one for all the Pollyannas in the LGBTQI community who think marriage is all rainbows and unicorns. Ill be buying a copy to keep as a souvenir, or to mop up the tears when the reality finally hits them. If the cultural reference was directed at The Simpsons the millennial would be falling over in hysterics.

Wollongong, the Central Coast and Newcastle all had very high Yes votes at something in the realm of 65%-75%. Makes me feel a little bit better about moving to those places instead of going west to live if I ever had to leave my area in the Kingsford Smith electoral district.

Muslims tend to be very socialist, but very religiously conservative at the same time. That’s why they vote Labor, yet they also voted No.

There are Islamic countries which aren’t socialist, but they don’t tend to be the ones which people emigrate from - usually because they aren’t war-torn, and they are filthy rich from oil money. I mean, you don’t really see people emigrating from Saudi Arabia or Qatar to come here, do you?

It’s obviously new immigrants (of various religions who have immigrated from various places around the world) and the second/third generation descendants who have contributed to the No vote in Western Sydney, yet some lefties simply cannot comprehend this fact because it brings a conflict between their belief in a multicultural society with high immigration, and a society which has rights for LGBT people. They’re claiming that new immigrants - ones who have been here long enough to get on the electoral roll - didn’t understand the question. That is total bullshit.

You don’t think that’s just a tad homophobic dude?

It was a huge day of specialist content. The 9pm hour was used to replay the highlights before a specialised set list 10pm-midnight.

I had a good laugh at the Tele’s cover - surprisingly deadpan considering their usual standards but definitely a reference that the masses will struggle to remember.

The Project showed a snafu from Nine Afternoon News Melbourne coverage of the result.

“This was the moment the announcement was made” says Alicia Loxley (?) then extended silence. Meanwhile Brett McLeod creeps into shot from the left :slight_smile:

“We don’t seem to have the announcement but we do have Brett McLeod in the studio”

The Today logo appearing behind the banner for some reason?

It’s a joke and, yes, a nod to their No readership.

I thought it was funny.
