Is Plebiscite the best option for Marriage Equality?

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has warned a possible national vote on same-sex marriage could inflame homophobia in Australia. The Labor leader used his campaign launch over the weekend (sun) to declare Labor would accept nothing less than equal rights. Repeating his party's pledge to change the Marriage Act within 100 days of winning government, Mr Shorten declared no-one should have to justify his or her sexuality or love.
