I saw him on TV just a moment ago. He said that he looks forward to attending the wedding of his sister Christine early in the New Year.

I hope he is sincere in that and that he will not make his sisters day less than perfect with judgmental comments.

Will be interesting to see if any of the amendments get up. I hope that enough Coalition MPs do the right thing and vote them down. It won't take many of them!

Magda's right. His speech was full of hypocritical, self-congratulatory claptrap. I wanted to throw something at him but I'd have broken my TV.

Oh I know. Turnbull is acting like he has done everyone such a big favour and is choosing to ignore all the hate and damage to the LGBT people caused by his "wonderful" survey. 😳 It's a friggin' joke!

Do they make these speeches to justify themselves to their voters? Can't see the need or the waste, just pass the bloody thing and stop grandstanding.

As a letter in the SMH today noted:

Watching dozens of politicians pontificate grandly in parliament about their personal views and how they knew all along it was the right decision is spectacularly galling.

100%. Get on with it. Even worse, if they hadn't cancelled parliament last week it would be law by now.
