The Australian People
As many other have mentioned previously, the Government is elected to represent the views of the citizens that elect them. This Government has ignored the wishes of the people it serves with one minister, Kate Ellis, stating that "policy is not controlled by opinion polls". To whomever from the Labor party is reading this: you are in your position to carry out the will of the public you serve. To ignore the people's wishes in the pursuit of your own backwards agendas is to erode the 'democracy' of this country and propel it into eventual totalitarianism. To Lindsay, Stephen and any other party member who is sifting through these comments, YOU are personally responsible for the direction this country is heading in. You should think to yourself, every time you are with your family at home, or trying to sleep soundly, do YOU want to be responsible for the destruction of the democratic principles of Australia?
