I thank the honourable member for her question. I have to remind the honourable member of some answers I gave a few weeks ago. The coalition government's policy is that the matter of legalising same-sex marriage will be determined by a plebiscite, by a national vote, in which every single Australian will have a vote. I do not want to make any assumptions about what the honourable member was doing in 1999 but, let me tell you, I was leading the 'yes' case for a referendum. Let me tell you, perhaps, for the benefit of the honourable member. Let me share a bit of my experience.
