My question is to the Prime Minister. Today, the member for Warringah warned Australians to vote no in the plebiscite, for reasons unrelated to marriage equality, claiming:

If you're worried about religious freedom and freedom of speech, vote no, and if you don't like political correctness, vote no …

Last night, when asked about marriage equality, Bronwyn Bishop referred to polygamy, bestiality and the killing of children. How can the Prime Minister guarantee there will be respectful discussion, sticking to the issues, when his own Liberal colleagues behave like this?
