    So it's polling day and it's the 2nd big referendum to change our constitution in the last 3 years but what will the next referendum be on?


    For me it would be rolling back / removing the legislation against euthanasia for the terminally ill.


    NOTE: Please leave today's referendum in the other threads. This is to see what we'd possibly change next.

    Euthanasia doesn't need a referendum.

    How about a referendum to stop anything new being added to the constitution?

    Saves the bother of taking it out again

    I definitely think it should be looked at. The internet allows much swifter and easier distribution of images than in the past. Laws need to be updated.

    Polar or grizzly? Black bears arms are too small to need legislation.

    This will be an interesting clash between feminists.
