Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question, again on liberal values. I seek the minister's indulgence to answer as much of it as he likes. Rather than put the issue of marriage equality to a vote in your party room or to a vote in the parliament, the Liberal Party has decided to spend millions of dollars putting it to a plebiscite some time after the next election so that straight people will be able to vote on the rights of gay people. Given this, how can the public trust you to represent liberal values?
