Gilmore is reported to have said he hopes a referendum on same-sex marriage happens during the lifetime of the govt, anyone else think that sounds a bit vague?

although its a joke in his day and age why it hasn't been done

I suspect he's conscious of the fact that in the current climate the government will lose any referendum they bring forward, regardless of merit. If they held it anytime soon, probably less than 20% of the electorate would decide whether or not it was carried. That's not an ideal situation.

Referendum to be held in the 1st half of 2015.

Maybe the chief whip is a fabs member & read the post?

About time.
