    I feel like this happened before with the gay marriage referendum? Or is it worse?

    I tend to tune the background noise out

      I was quite involved in the marriage equality campaign, it was nothing like this! This referendum is way, way worse.

        I definitely don’t remember the same amount of no propaganda in public/publicly visible areas with the marriage equality campaign. Fucken stickers pasted on the inside of one of the trams I took today - someone had torn as much off them as they could but it was all “urban Aboriginals getting more handouts” and “this will divide Australia”. Nothing that vicious and pervasive for the marriage equality thing
