Why do they fear honest scrutiny? If an idea has merit it should be subjected to open and free investigation rather than seeking to silence such a process.
Being the ones suggesting that we change something so structurally foundational to our society, it should be incumbent on the proponent's of this suggested change to convince all Australians that the change is needed and beneficial. And that the potential problems with this have been thought through. However, all they seem to want to do is avoid this public scrutiny and ram through the change as quickly as possible. The Archbishop said he was aware there “are some in society who would seek to silence the Church on this issue”, further observing: “This represents the rise of a new intolerance against Christianity in Australian society, and more generally a threat to freedom of speech. It is important in a democratic society like Australia that every person is free to present what they believe to be true. There should not be threats or intimidation against anyone who expresses a view in favour of traditional marriage. It is important that Australia has the opportunity for an open and free debate about the nature of marriage leading up to a plebiscite.” Every child comes from and needs BOTH a mother and a father. Same-sex "marriage" intentionally keeps either a mother or a father from the child. Government should protect the child through upholding traditional marriage.
