Aussie Parliament prepares to pass same-sex marriage bill
There a bit of debate, some amendments put forward which failed. And this from the live coverage-
LNP MP Trevor Evans says Australia is not America and "the search for homophobic bakers in Australia continues unfulfilled".
There is laughter from the public gallery.
On edit:
LNP MP Warren Entsch is summing up debate on the same-sex marriage legislation.
"This bill gives so much and takes from no one," he says.
"The same-sex marriage bill is a good bill. It does not need any amendments."
