The legal arguments raised to defeat same-sex marriage in Tasmania were patently spurious. That they succeeded shows a lack of political will and confidence, writes Rodney Croome.
Two key objections to state same-sex marriage laws emerged during last week’s debate in the Tasmanian Upper House. These objections have since been raised by Victoria’s political leaders and are likely to surface asNSW, South Australia, and the ACT move towards marriage equality.
