Abbots was a vocal opponent of Marriage Equality because his (blind) belief structure is devoid of any rational interrogation.
He publicly campaigned against marriage equality. 75% of his constituents disagreed with him.
When it came time to pass the motion he refused to vote the way his constituents voted and didn’t have the guts to vote at all.
Tony Abbott was one of those. He had spent all day in the chamber arguing passionately about why he wasn’t satisfied with the bill as it stood.
But when it came time to vote — and he could have voted against it — he made a gutless lurch for the door.
Mr Abbott’s weak act didn’t have anything to do with democracy, it was a protest against it. And history won’t forget that.
Makes you wonder why he’s even in politics at all if he doesn’t believe in the democratic process…Oh wait… He isn’t.
