PM pushes for public vote on gay marriage, page-7

“Whether or not you support same-sex marriage, whether or not you support the concept of marriage which has been around since time immemorial ... this is quite properly something that may well be decided by the Australian people, something that should be a matter for all of us rather than a matter simply for some of us,” he said.

And that's why today is a great day for the country. Thank God, Abbott is PM and not Shorten.
