Marriage equality advocates have praised federal MP, Darren Chester, after he became the first National Party MP to support marriage equality.
Australian Marriage Equality national director, Rodney Croome, said,
“We praise Mr Chester for leading the way both in his own party and in regional Austrlaia.”
“Mr Chester is a model for other federal representatives because he has listened to his electorate and is representing their desire for all Austrlaians to be treated equally.”
Mr Croome said he believes it possible other Nationals members will follow Mr Chester.
“The pressure is now on the National Party, along with the Liberal Party, to allow a free vote on marriage equality.”
