Senator DASTYARI (New South Wales—Deputy Opposition Whip in the Senate) (15:14): That is completely and utterly factually incorrect. You cannot just make things like that up in the chamber. I want an apology. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: I am sorry, Senator Dastyari, that is a debating point. Senator BRANDIS: That, Senator Dastyari, is what I am told. In the short while left to me, let me touch on one issue that Senator Wong raised in her contribution, and that is the question of marriage equality. She attacks Mr Turnbull for allegedly reversing his position on marriage equality; he has done nothing of the sort—unlike Senator Wong, who in 2010 was an advocate against marriage equality and has now rediscovered herself as an advocate in its favour. Last Saturday was 11 February. That was the date on which we were supposed to have a plebiscite on the question of marriage equality— Senator Hanson-Young: The lights have just gone out in the Senate—must be wind power's fault! Senator BRANDIS: Another Labor administration in the ACT cannot keep the lights on. Nobody doubts that, had there been a plebiscite, there would have been a vote in favour of marriage equality, and we would have had marriage equality legislation before this chamber today. But, because Senator Wong with overwhelming moral cowardice was prepared to sacrifice the interests of gay people to the political games that Shorten bade her play, we do not have marriage equality today. That is thanks to the likes of you, Senator Wong. (Time expired)
