Should Australia hold more referendums?

Its an election year, so of course many of us are being bombarded with ad’s, flyers, emails and letters from local MP’s saying what they’re bringing to the table and loosely nodding toward policies adopted or promised by respective parties.

Referendums can act as the vehicle for the National Interests that fall outside of Party Agenda.
