PARLIAMENT will once again be embroiled in the controversial issue of gay marriage from today, as two separate private members’ bills to legalise same-sex marriage are debated in the House of Representatives, with a vote on the bills likely to come following the winter session of Parliament.
A report on the two bills, one from Labor’s Stephen Jones and one from Greens MP Adam Bandt and independent Andrew Wilkie, by the House of Representatives social policy and legal affairs committee will also be tabled this morning.
