Michael Danby (or do-nothing Danby as I have dubbed him) has decided to email me again on marriage equality *sigh*
So the basic gist...
"For the first time, we have an Australian Prime Minister going into an election with a commitment to supporting marriage equality.
It is my belief that allowing all Australians the same dignity, the same opportunities, and the same freedoms is the best thing for our country and I will support any future marriage equality bill."
and further...
"I have supported the principle of marriage equality for a long time and I am proud to be part of a political party that has put addressing this injustice on its agenda."
This is a man who abstained on the vote on marriage equality because he wasn't going to vote because it was going to be defeated anyway (or something along those lines).
So the obligatory response that will undoubtedly like all my emails to him will get absolute no response.
"Dear Mr Danby,
I really find it galling that you have the audacity to tell me that you are a supporter of marriage equality that when I have contacted you and your office at least 4 times over the last federal term to receive no response in regards to marriage equality issues.
Also I also find it quite insulting that you are saying that it is disappointing that Mr Abbott won't allow his parliamentarians a conscience vote - which as was proven - it is non-binding. A liberal crossed the benches to vote in support of marriage equality. You are telling me that you are a supporter of marriage equality, when the last bill came to parliament, why didn't you vote?

Mr Danby you chose to not vote for marriage equality so in that spirit and considering the support you have physically shown - you can in fact not count on my vote.
I wish you the best of luck.

Blergh, he seems to operate in his own world.
ReplyDeleteHe's sent my clients in public housing letters basically saying if they don't vote for him their housing will be sold off and they'll be homeless. WTF!! It's so untrue!
