Law, Society & Same-Sex Marriage

1

With a number of same-sex marriage bills being put forward around the country, the marriage debate continues to dominate in Australian parliaments. To discuss this issue we sat down with Greg Donnelly, member of the Upper House in NSW – where a draft same-sex marriage bill was released a fortnight ago.

In this comprehensive review of the topic, Greg Donnelly presents the state of the debate in Australia, the constitutional problems with legislating on same-sex marriage, the legal and social causes of the current marriage situation, and the relevant policy of his own party – the ALP – since the much-publicised National Conference in late-2011.
