Fellow citizens,
At the 1998 Federal Election the Coalition attracted only 49% of the two-party preferred vote yet won enough seats to give it a majority in the House of Representatives and therefore the ability to form a government.
A clear majority of Australians voted against returning the Howard Government yet John Howard claimed this on the night of the election:
"We now have a mandate to implement the policies that we took to the Australian people".
At the 2017 Same Sex Marriage Survey, the NO case attracted only 38.4% of the votes of the 79.5% of eligible voters who participated.
A substantial majority, 61.6%, voted YES, dwarfing any two-party preferred vote of any winning party at any federal election (FYI Malcolm Fraser's crushing 1975 victory attracted 55.7%) yet Eric Abetz now claims this:
"NO voters exceeded the primary vote being enjoyed by the Coalition...I would like to see a greater embrace of those who voted NO."
Oy vey!
For the interest of colleagues and scholars from coast to coast, across Bass Strait and all the ships at sea.
