Australia: Same-sex marriage plebiscite passes Lower House
from News.com.au:
THE Federal government’s doomed plan for a plebiscite on same-sex marriage has passed parliament’s Lower House.
Debate on the enabling Bill was cut short today, denying about 20 Labor MPs a chance to speak, and sent to a vote 10 days after it was introduced.
With Labor and the Greens both voicing their opposition to the proposal, however, it is unlikely to clear the Senate.
The bill just scraped through the lower house after a tight vote: 76-77.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has repeatedly refused to say whether he has a “Plan B” if the plebiscite — an election promise — is killed off.
