My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. The resounding vote for marriage equality announced today has been the result of the tireless campaigning by so many LGBTIQ people that has been underway in Australia for well over a decade. There have been 22 marriage equality bills introduced into the Australian parliament since John Howard, the former Prime Minister, changed the marriage law in 2004. How will the government facilitate the actual passage of legislation to reflect Australia's overwhelming vote for equality that was announced today?
