Buy My "Yes" Vote

[icyfroth]

Warnings have been issued to the eBay seller trying to flog their say in the same-sex marriage postal survey for $1500.

 

A Sydneysider who is selling their ballot paper on the same-sex marriage postal survey has been warned they face possible jail time or a $2000 fine, with an independent senator saying it's making a mockery of the exercise.

The eBay listing, which has been taken down, was published on September 18 and titled, Buy My Vote.

The bid started at $1500.

"What is this plebiscite worth to you", the seller writes in the ad description.

"The reason I'm selling my vote is because either way I don't care, but thought there are people who do."

The seller promises part of the proceeds of the auction will go to help kids battling cancer.

The Australian Bueau Of Statistics, which is conducting the survey, told SBS World News it considers any submission of a survey response that's been bought or sold a criminal offence.

The offence against the Census and Statistics Act 1905 carries a maximum penalty of $2,100. The Criminal Code offence carries a maximum penalty of 12 months imprisonment,” a spokesman said.

No way this plebiscite is going to truly reflect the opinion of the general public. It's going to be so skewed.

Why not bring in marriage to your pets. Apparently its legal for it to happen in California USA. I give it the thumbs up.

Yes, I admit fake news was perhaps not the best description of your adapted title..

Terminological inexactitude would have been much more accurate.

Oh do give us a break.

Good grief.

Did you ever try to intervene?

Maybe you could have bought them a small pool filled with jello.

Does intervene mean caring for a cpl of sm petrified  kids until the police arrived? Domestic violence is not something I am prepared to joke about 😞

You never mentioned kids.

"Domestic violence is not something I am prepared to joke about :("

This must be the part where you pretend to be offended, as usual. If we're to believe and these "kids" actually exist.

My final thought....if you don't like my "joke"...too bad.
