Greens say entire plebiscite is a delay tactic against marriage equality

Expect more delays, says Greens Leader Richard Di Natale, unsurprised that Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has pushed his promised plebiscite on marriage equality off to next year
"Delays are the entire point of the Liberals' plebiscite ploy. They don't want to end discrimination in the law, they want to push it off to the never-never," Senator Di Natale said.
"The Parliament could pass marriage equality into law next Tuesday, but instead the Liberals want to run a costly and divisive public vote that may be ignored by many of their so-called representatives anyway.
"The plebiscite is pointless. We already know there's overwhelming support for marriage equality in the community and in the parliament so it can't be seen as anything but a delay tactic.
"The PM should end the sham, end the delays and end the discrimination against people who want to celebrate their love."
