My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, thousands of voters in my electorate of Lingiari have no access to direct mail services. Many can only send and receive mail once a week. Around 20 per cent are not on the Electoral Roll. During elections, the AEC takes two weeks to visit over 220 polling places to provide these people with an opportunity to have their say. How will the Prime Minister guarantee that Australians like these will be able to have their say on marriage equality in his survey?
