So it's far from a tribute to the energies of the honourable member that he hasn't got all those constituents onto the electoral roll. So I would encourage him, as an enthusiast for democracy, to get those constituents onto the electoral roll so that they will be able to participate in this plebiscite, which will ensure that every Australian has their say on this issue. The only reason it isn't a compulsory attendance ballot is the Labor Party's opposition.

If I may add to an earlier answer, Mr Speaker: when the Leader of the Opposition opened up by mingling same-sex marriage and energy, I responded by saying the two issues did not have anything in common.
