Oh dear... Malcolm Turnbull has, quite admirably, defended women's right to determine their own reproductive choices, and sorta sorta defended rights for gay couples (the old 'they can't have marriage because that's too special but they can have this second-rate civil union that gives them rights without allowing them to feel that their relationship is in any way equal to those of people who like to boink members of the opposite sex'). Good on him.
But, Malcolm, if it were possible to talk common sense to bigots, none of these things would be an issue in the first place, hence this-
If you think about it, if you discriminate ... against a gay couple, between two men living together, do you really think that they're going to say `oh well, that's no good, we'll go off and get married to a woman'?" he asked the audience.
- fine piece of logic simply isn't going to work.

Go Malcolm. Glad he did it.
Surprised the heck out of me. Sorry mate. Still not going to vote for you, but you've gone up several levels in my estimation.
