Does boycotting the Australian gay marriage vote make sense for both sides?

How does the legal system work there compared to here (burger).

Court challenges notwithstanding, the vote on same-sex marriage will be carried out via a postal ballot this year.

For many, it’s not the best way to bring about this change and they are disappointed it won’t be changed by a parliamentary vote, which could sidestep the need for a potentially ugly debate among the community.

But there are concerns that calls for a boycott of the postal vote will be even more damaging.
Former High Court judge Justice Michael Kirby said this morning he would not participate in the postal vote and predicted a high number of gay and lesbian voters would boycott it.

He described the process as a “Mickey Mouse” proposal that disrespected the Australian people and discriminated against marginalised voters.
