Of course I posted on a dead thread - so to repeat - some comic relief from Australia

Absolutely no answer to the question in regards to the Moore escape to Australia - but if you would like some relief from US politics, Australian politics at the moment is in the laugh or cry category.

Politicians are being thrown out of parliament basically because they have been found to be dual citizens of Australia and one other country (illegal under the constitution) & in the latest episode of this saga a replacement for one of these folks in the Senate may be ineligible because she worked for the Federal government after losing the election to the ineligible person. (To be eligible for election you cannot be working for the Federal government).

And the same sex marriage vote is advisory only - however legislation will probably be introduced. Tony Abbott who is a resounding NO vote represents an electorate which went 80% YES, while a number of members who are big YES voters come from electorates where the vote was a resounding NO.

The “advisory” vote was expensive, rather pointless, matched the opinion polls and appears to have no impact on how MPs will vote.
