The Australian Rainbow Labor Network has today condemned Tony Abbott for refusing to grant Liberal Party MPs and Senators a conscience vote on same-sex marriage.

ARLN Co-Convenor Neil Pharaoh said that it was hypocritical of Mr Abbott to deny Malcolm Turnbull, and other like-minded Liberals, the opportunity to vote according to their conscience on same-sex marriage, while at the same time allowing Shadow Cabinet Minister Barnaby Joyce to speak according to his conscience on foreign investment.

“In Monday’s debate on Labor MP Stephen Jones’ marriage equality bill in the Federal Parliament, Mr Turnbull confirmed that he would vote in favour of same-sex marriage, if Mr Abbott hadn’t refused to grant him a conscience vote,” Mr Pharaoh said.

“It is the height of hypocrisy for Mr Abbott to deny Mr Turnbull a conscience vote on Labor’s same-sex marriage bill, while at the same time allowing Senator Joyce free rein on the sale of Cubbie Station.

“Mr Abbott says Senator Joyce deserves special treatment, because Cubbie Station is just around the corner from his home in St George, and the sale is an important issue for the local community.

“But same-sex marriage is equally as important to residents of Mr Turnbull’s electorate of Wentworth, which has one of the highest GLBTI populations in Australia.
“Mr Abbott is clearly adopting a double-standard, and affording Senator Joyce special treatment, at the expense of Mr Turnbull and other Liberal Party parliamentarians who support marriage equality.”

Mr Pharaoh called on Mr Abbott to stop bullying his Liberal Party colleagues into submitting to his views on same-sex marriage, and allow them the same freedom on marriage equality that he grants to Barnaby Joyce on foreign investment and other issues.

工党党魁吉拉德，虽然个人声称反对同性婚姻，但是却允许党内自由投票，工党目前立场是【不反对同性婚姻】，大多数工党MP支持同性婚姻。

联合党LNP，党魁Tony Abbott，个人反对同性婚姻，并且不允许党内针对同性婚姻进行自由投票。LNP目前立场是【反对同性婚姻】。个别工党MP支持同性婚姻。

绿党支持同性婚姻。

目前澳洲议会已经收到4个关于同性婚姻立法的提案，正在有针对性的进行辩论。

塔斯马尼亚州州长要针对同性婚姻本州立法，挑战最高法院，目前塔斯马尼亚同性婚姻提案，已经在下议院通过，今年晚些时候上议院进行表决。

这个议题联合党不让良心投票没有道理！

因为桶泥也知道自己的想法不占主流，万一让良心投票，他就失控。
