WILSON
"We had a bill before the parliament to push for a plebiscite. I voted for it and honoured that commitment and discharged my duties. That is not news and it has been done, and then in December there was a Senate inquiry established to look at a piece of legislation to amend the Act and it is still ongoing. When that committee reports when that inquiry is concluded obviously there is going to have to be a discussion. It's got nothing to do with me pushing for anything or anybody else. That process was already in train and it was driven by the Senate."
Na saunoa foi le sui faipule, o le na avea ma palemia ma taitai o le Liberals, Tony Abbott e faigata ona toe suia le tulaga o le malo tele, ona o se tasi lenei o folafolaga na latou ave i le campaign i palota na te'a nei.

TURNBULL
"I've got no doubt that all of these matters will be discussed in the party room but I'm the prime minister. The government's position is that which we took to the election, which is that this issue should be determined by a vote of every Australian in a plebiscite."
Ae le o maluelue ai le ituagai.

BUTLER
"The people who are elected to this parliament are people who are elected to do a job. The Australian people did not elect a majority of parliamentarians who support a plebiscite. But the Australian people did elect a majority of parliamentarians who support marriage equality. Labor has said we will work with anyone to get marriage equality done in this parliament. We want to see a free vote on the floor of the parliament on a bill to amend the Marriage Act."
