Could Australia’s gay marriage debate be the next revolt against the establishment?

They are too blind to join the dots.

With this sort of vilification from members of the political establishment, Australia is ripe for a revolt on same-sex marriage regardless of where people stand on the substance of the issue.

In addition to condescending political elites, Australia has a media class which overwhelmingly backs redefining marriage.

Like the American media’s cheering of Hillary, Australian media’s cheering of the rainbow political cause means both sides of the story are not being covered.

And what of the pollsters who got it so wrong?

There will be some in the Liberal Party re-thinking Mark Textor’s numbers on gay marriage.

Make no mistake, I am no fan of Donald Trump.

Both he and Bill Clinton represent all that is broken in our society’s attitude of male entitlement to young women.

Hillary’s decades-long toleration of Bill’s use of young women is a metaphor for the blind eye we all turn to their hyper-sexualised treatment in outdoor advertising and popular culture.

Yet sadly these were the two best leaders American democracy could offer.

That Trump was elected shows how desperate people were for the status quo to be disrupted.

Australia’s same-sex marriage debate is far from over and it continues to be driven by the same elite political class which was repudiated last week in America.

The Trump election shows there may be more sticks waiting to be thrust into the spokes of the wheels of seemingly popular progressive causes.

Let the people speak.
