My question is to Attorney-General, Senator Brandis, representing the Prime Minister. Former Liberal Prime Ministers John Howard and even Tony Abbott have said in the past that change to the Marriage Act should be made by the elected representatives of the country. Even Prime Minister Menzies once promised that discrimination would not be written into Australian marriage law. Senator Brandis, why won't your government let us do our job?
