I did not stay up late last night to get the survey results: consequently I missed the giddy solidarity happy phase.
I am experiencing some warm fuzzies that my home electorate came in around 65%.
In the last half of the campaign I have become increasingly convinced that major players in the No camp (not Shelton, necessarily, but certainly the Sydney Anglicans, and Bernardi and so on) were not expecting to win: they were laying out the groundwork for systematic anti-discrimination rollbacks.
I am very concerned about the impact this might have on the very systems where marriage is most practically necessary: medical and aged care, superannuation access, social services, and the like. The Smith bill is bad enough; I forsee many further amendments to it and am not feelin' great about that.
