      My opinion is that the issue is societal, not political. It is our responsibility, not a government’s. The government is to be in service of aiding us in fixing society, but in this case, has historically proven to be ineffective and unaccountable due to lack of society caring enough. To me, the option provided continued to reflect this and was a poorly wasted opportunity. If a legistave pathway carries the same lack of care, it won’t be effective either and that is on society. This is why I continue to say, it’s important to continue momentum on the topic, considering the referendum as a start of a hopeful snowball, but I fear Australians in general don’t care enough, therefore neither will the governments. This is historically how it has been time and again.
