I will support Senator Di Natale on this issue. I think this is something we are going to see in the days and weeks ahead, as conservatives in this chamber try to thwart what happened today—a memorable day for Australia where same-sex marriage becomes a genuine reality. The conservatives are trying these sorts of tricks which have nothing to do with senators' eligibility. I've voted with the crossbench this year time after time to try and get this to an audit, and we've tried damned hard to do that. But it has not happened, and I don't think we should sit and watch this happen, as we get thwarted and the people of Australia get thwarted because you don't want same-sex marriage in this country.
