Just for reference to other countries-

Penny Wong voted against gay marriage multiple times. She is a lesbian and took advantage of our Gay Marriage laws the second they were introduced (long story short- we have Goldman Sachs to thank for those laws, yes really...) but voted against them multiple times.

Spineless doesn't even begin to cover it.

    It seems that claim is not really true:

    Besides which, do you want politicians to vote according bro their constituents wishes or according to their own interests?

    That's very specifically only counting after Malcolm Turnbull introduced the vote to parliament and forced both Labor and Liberals hands.

    The constituency was in full support of Gay Marriage, Penny ignored it for years since Labor is at their heart, the Catholic party.

    LOL.

    It's the way I say it is because reasons and any contrary information is a fabrication.

    Indeed.

    Look at the votes, everything after 2016, she was there and voted Yes, before that she was absent every single vote and her party that was present voted 100% No.

    It's well known here that Labor are spineless.

    Vote Greens. The party that voted 100% YES in every division.
