The Government's Leader of the House Christopher Pyne said MPs would not be leaving Canberra until same-sex marriage was legal.


The House was due to sit again from November 27 but will now resume on December 4. It may then stretch into the week beginning December 11, depending on whether the changes to the Marriage Act are stalled. Mr Pyne said the government would immediately pass a bill confirming a citizenship disclosure register, with all parliamentarians to provide their paperwork by 8pm on December 5. The Senate has already passed a motion that will require senators to provide their evidence by December 1.
