TASMANIA is getting no hints from federal Attorney-General Nicola Roxon as its upper house considers an investigation into whether a state-based same-sex marriage law would be constitutional.
Most of the Legislative Council members (MLCs) who voted against Tasmania’s bill last month cited legal issues as their primary concern.
Gay rights activist Rodney Croome declared the 8-6 vote against the legislation a victory, arguing most MLCs had given it in-principle support.
