The country is in raptures for the happy couple:
As Tim Wilson made his first speech in Parliament on the final day of winter last year, he looked up toward the public gallery where his fiance, Ryan Bolger, watched on with pride.
He spoke of the sacrifices they had made for his career, and of the rings attached to their left hands. “They are the answer to a question we still cannot ask,” he told the chamber.
Fifteen months later, standing in the very same spot in the House of Representatives on Monday, he asked the question. “Ryan Patrick Bolger, will you marry me?”
The answer came back fast and loud: “Yes.”
It’s nice to see such freedom expressed. MB voted for it.
My only question is which planet the happy couple plan to live on given Tim Wilson has been a singular voice of destruction in the climate change mitigation debate.
No doubt Mr Wilson feels quite consistent in his libertarianism across both issues but I can’t let the moment pass given this is the very embodiment of the trivial and self-interested politics that dominates Canberra today.
A small minority has been liberated (rightly) but a planet condemned:
Yay!
