    We spent approximately enough to build around 300 new homes for homeless families or hostels and emergency accommodation for thousands just to find out what we already know. The survey returned a majority YES vote.

    Now first I am a YES voter, BUT, I believe the whole thing could have been done a lot better and that the answer was not as cut and dry as I thought.

    That's the usual cry of liberals who are witnessing the downside when their rationale has be put into action, and an unexpected and unwanted result is the outcome. We have an accommodation problem here, too, with the recent influxes of newcomers, but it isn't a shortage of housing per se, it's a demand for it which can't be met. Now if we'd built more houses before they arrived on these shores, there wouldn't now be an endemic housing shortage. QED?

    The "yes" vote and the Liberals/Nationals just don't get along.
    Boy were the crying for a 'no".
    What can you do if your values and mindset is from the 1850's?
    Send your boys to church where a friendly priest is making sure the zip stays closed (until such time you found out it didn't)? Ups, I have been carried away.....
    Yes our country could have saved millions, but this way the Turnbull government didn't loose its face. Although, we know better....
    Regards

    All that money to protect Turnbull. Heck he should have paid for it.
