Other state Greens branches are considering putting forward motions like that passed by the Tasmanian Parliament on September 21, giving in-principle support to same-sex marriage, while the Young Labor National Conference and Mildura ALP branch have moved to support marriage equality.

NSW Greens MLC Cate Faehrmann said her party would consider proposing a similar motion.

“The Greens will look seriously at moving a similar motion at the right time, though there are incredibly conservative elements in the NSW Upper House right now so we have that to take into consideration.”
