End the "gay panic defense" petition

Australia is a land of many contradictions.
While if you ask an man, woman or child on the street, 7 times out of 10 you would get a positive attitude towards same sex marriage. 3 times out of 10 would be anywhere from indifferent to ropable at the thought.
The problem arouse in 2004 when the then extremely conservative government of John Howard use religion as a justification to reword marriage laws to be only inclusive of '1 man and 1 woman' as to resemble 'traditional' marriage in Australia.
In 2007 we voted in a piss week government who did nothing but eat themselves alive, so nothing useful got done.
And then we voted for another conservative government with a leader that even more conservative than his party's former leader, he got chucked out of office and now we have an ultra conservative dimwit blindly leading our country into the stone ages.
So yes, we have 'Gay Panic' as a defence in 2 of the most thrown back states in a thrown back country, not to get away with murder entirely, but down grade the charges from murder to manslaughter...a slap on the wrist.
Australia is almost as thrown back as the USA, although several US States have progressed.
While us Aussie sit back and wait another 3 years of watching this issue remain a political basketball debated by dimwits that at best if their brains were dynamite they still wouldn't have enough to blow their own noses, we watch our nearby neighbour, New Zealand celebrate almost 12 years of same sex marriage.
So what does Australia have going for it at the moment? Great beaches.
It just goes to show, the government isn't about democracy and serving for the majority...it is all about the highest bidder.
