Because we haven’t enough about Marriage Equality enough, this week the Senate has devoted the entire week to debating the Marriage Amendment (Definition and Religious Freedoms) Bill 2017, which would allow same-sex couples to marry. Much of last week was also given over to the marriage bill, and Senators won’t be allowed to leave this week until the legislation has passed, but is this conversation helping or causing further harm?
