Mr TURNBULL (Wentworth—Prime Minister) (14:44): I thank the honourable member for her question. I have to remind the honourable member of some answers I gave a few weeks ago. The coalition government's policy is that the matter of legalising same-sex marriage will be determined by a plebiscite, by a national vote, in which every single Australian will have a vote. I do not want to make any assumptions about what the honourable member was doing in 1999 but, let me tell you, I was leading the 'yes' case for a referendum. Let me tell you, perhaps, for the benefit of the honourable member. Let me share a bit of my experience. Ms Butler interjecting — The SPEAKER: The member for Griffith has already been warned! Mr TURNBULL: We were arguing for a model in which an Australian President would be chosen by a joint sitting of both houses of parliament—a very good model, indeed, and many of my colleagues, here, supported it. But, I am afraid to say, there were quite a few people who opposed it and said, 'Give the people their say.' I regret to say, that was extremely popular. People like having a say. People like having a vote. The position that we are taking is one in which this issue—an important issue—will be determined by plebiscite. It is a perfectly democratic approach. Yes, it will take more time. Yes, it will cost more money. Yes, in my view, it will be carried, but time will tell. I will certainly vote for it, but it will be a national vote. On the hustings, the honourable member will be saying to the electors of Griffith: 'None of you should have a say. Vote for me and I will have a say!' And your Liberal opponent will be saying: 'All of you can have a say.' They will be saying every single one can have a say. Ms Plibersek: Mr Speaker, I have a point of order on relevance. I would like to know if the Prime Minister is going to have a plebiscite on the GST, on increasing— The SPEAKER: No, you cannot ask the question. The member for Sydney will resume her seat. It is not a point of order. The Prime Minister has concluded his answer. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: When members cease interjecting, we will resume question time. I remind the member for Herbert, the clock is running or it should be.
