Speeches for the Marriage Equality Bill 2012

What can I say? The Marriage Equality Bill (or bills, as there have been many) has come and gone for now. Even though there was no victory for equality (yet), it was great to have our senators vote and finally speak their beliefs and represent their constituents, as they are obligated to.

Here is a collection of some of the speeches. The topic for many was a passionate one. Politicians have a reputation of being boring only because of their law-jargon filled role. However, there is nothing boring about these speeches. They speak with a feverish conviction, and for once, they are honest and proud to stand by their choices, even if it is against love and equality.

I’ve found ten speeches For the Marriage Equality Bill – and one Against.
