The Greens will introduce an updated marriage equality bill into the Senate after the British House of Commons voted in favour of extending equal marriage rights to gay and lesbian couples.
The bill was passed on Tuesday in London after the Conservative Prime Minister, David Cameron, allowed his MPs a conscience vote.
Mr Cameron – a supporter of gay marriage – said after the vote: ”Strong views exist on both sides but I believe MPs voting for gay people being able to marry too is a step forward for our country.”
