Unelected Prime Minister, coupled with a Government filled with senile old farts, gives us alzheimer's fueled ageism. These people probably don't even know how to send an email, so they chalked it off as a "whatever, my corporate sponsor says I should vote yes, so..." gig.

Considering how depravity keeps us warm up here, I suspect we're just going to be another Australia; those with, uh, unsavoury browsing habits will be corralled up north.
