My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, the ban on same-sex marriage is legislated discrimination and plain wrong. In response to the recent Irish referendum, you stated that marriage equality in Australia is an issue for the parliament. To that end, will you now rule out a plebiscite on same-sex marriage?

My position on this question is well known.
