And what has Malcolm Turnbull done to honor this promise: In September, Mr Turnbull had offered hope to Christian groups and conservative MPs when he pledged to protect religious protections following the same-sex marriage survey.
"I just want to reassure Australians that as strongly as I believe in the right of same-sex couples to marry, as strongly as I believe in that, even more strongly, if you like, do I believe in religious freedom,
Mr Turnbull said.
Religious freedom is fundamental and it will be protected in any bill that emerges from this parliament."
