Senator Derryn Hinch from the Justice Party speaks to Ruby about how he became an advocate for Marriage Equality as we ask him to not only reflect on where we have come, but how he thinks the bill will actually go. He has been a firm believer in Parliament getting on and doing its job, so what happens now? Plus he shares what it was like to stand alongside Penny Wong at the emotional moment the YES result was announced.
