On a day when debate vegetates whether we’d
need plebiscite or referendum to decide upon a
gay marriage argument there’s superfluous gas
adrift in the air; some say it’s unsavoury breeze
off th’ mammoth guano pile we routinely refer to
as Parliament where re-election concerns seem
to occupy an eminence of fuzzy opinion it might
be distraction enough to get The Bott back in
We know we don’t need a constitutional change
as marriage doesn’t appear - so a referendum’s
wasted space; and plebiscites can’t change any
Parliamentary option to ignore its deed anyway -
& we’re debating procedural ramifications while
the whole cost regardless isn’t going to abate
So as the People why do we have to decide on
decisions we elected ‘representatives’ to make
on our behalf in the first place …
