TONY Abbott is flying in the face of eight out of 10 Coalition voters – and possibly buying a fight with Malcolm Turnbull – by making it clear yesterday Liberal MPs will not get a conscience vote on gay marriage.

The Age/Nielsen poll found support for a conscience vote at 81 per cent among Labor voters and Coalition voters and 90 per cent among Greens supporters.
