Current liberal party policy is to continue the discriminatory nature of marriage until after the next election. Subsequently there will be a second vote and if a majority of voters and a majority of original states say yes, it will go back to parliament where politicians of either house can still say can say up yours to all who campaign for equal marriage.

This is not good enough! If Turnbull, Bishop and Zimmerman want equal marriage the Bill should be put and passed now!

In reply to helen. He's gay and a member of the liberal party, so shouldn't he be described as openly self loathing... NOT openly gay.

So tell me again, how does his endorsement get me legally married before the next election? I’m terribly afraid that’s the ONLY thing that interests me about the Liberal party at the moment. Don’t get me wrong either, I’m advocating for the ALP, their support has been luke warm pee, in government as well.

Australia is a decade behind other western countries on gay rights – if we have SSM by 2025 I will be sincerely shocked.

Trent Zimmerman (like all other Liberal party members, supporters and voters), are just “lipstick on a pig” or “mutton dressed as a lamb”!

It’s so amusing with these candidates who are party apparatchiks that have no support from their grassroots Liberal members

Mr Zimmerman is one of them.

Stop using your identity to win the gay vote when you’re Uncle Toms in disguise

You’re akin to an Asian Neo-Nazi in my book.

You have to be kidding me right? I will never ever vote for the Liberal or National party! The bigots party does not support marriage equality. The Labor party allow a conscience vote until 2019, after 2019 it will be a binding vote on marriage equality (just like the Greens currently have).
