My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has previously said, 'Look, we have this tradition in our party, Ray, of respect for people's deeply held beliefs, and if someone feels sufficiently strongly about an issue we accept that they do have a right to vote the way their conscience tells them. In light of these words, will the Prime Minister commit to a free vote for marriage equality for Liberal members and senators?
