Or join the rest of the civilised world and just have it made legal without hiding behind a popular vote.
Since same sex couples have all the same legal rights as any mixed sex couples, married or de-facto, what is the point? It's like the safe-schools program in Victoria which is predicated on the idea that the only bullying of any significance is towards LGBT individuals. Since this is a load of rubbish, we must ask the question as to why is there such a push for these kinds of things?

Since society is heading back to the standards commiserate with the standards of Rome around 1900 to 2100 years ago, why are same sex advocates wanting to change the definition of marriage when Rome itself never did? Rome was much more liberal than anything we have today. It considered itself the most enlightened area of its time.

"enroll to vote"? Surely everybody is already enrolled to vote, since voting is compulsory in Australia.
If you move out of the electorate in which you had previously been enrolled, or you change your address or you become of age since the last national election, or you become a citizen since the last national election, etc., etc., etc., then you are no longer enrolled and you need to re-enroll on the electoral roll for the electorate that you reside in.

If you are not currently enrolled then you cannot have a vote in the plebiscite.
