No worries. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Definitely need to read more before the referendum.

Yes, everyone needs to learn more. As this article showed, the trouble with referendums in Australia is that it is too easy for the No side to win just by sowing doubt amongst people who haven't educated themselves. So many people who want to vote No don't like the idea of change because they don't understand what it means.
