Australian labor politician Penny Wong gave a passionate speech decrying a people's vote on marriage equality, saying that it would "license hate speech to those that need little encouragement."
The Australian Liberal*government*has said it will hold a people's vote, also k**wn as a plebiscite, to allow the public to vote "yes" or "**" on same-*** marriage.*
The*conservative*Liberal Party is in favor of holding the vote; Labor Party members are opposed to it, fearing that it could serve as an excuse for people to spout hate speech, and prefer a conscience vote to move to legalise gay marriage within 100 days of the election (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-07-26/labor-party-national-conference-same-***-marriage-vote/6648834).* Read more...
