Why are referendums held in Australia?
They are held because Australia is a democracy, and public opinion should decide yes or no on a given issue. In Western Australia we have had a long and tiresome debate (and 2 referendums) about daylight saving. In both referendums the public said no, but it went ahead anyway. We are about to have a third referendum on daylight saving. I don't understand why they are holding referendums that cost the public millions, when it seems to be already decided that the public's opinion will be ignored.
