  …which the next shower will legislate out of existence again.

  Look, maybe they’ll go the Irish route like with the Treaty of Nice, where there was a referendum that was ill defined, it was voted down, so in true Mrs Doyle style they made small amendments and said “you will, you will, you will” and it got through.

  I certainly hope so, because regardless of why you voted against it, it’s not a good look internationally.

    The same exact thing would essentially harrow with a constitutionally palaces voice though, that’s the thing. Under the LNP they’d just strip it right back till the point where it may as well have been legislated out of existence. The referendum protected a name only basically.

    Upvote for father Ted ❤️
