Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young says her party's commitment to marriage equality is rock-solid, reaffirming her pledge to re-introduce the Marriage Equality Bill on the first day of the new Parliament.

The Greens Spokesperson on Sexuality and Gender Identity said it was clear throughout the election campaign that there was genuine community
consensus to have the discrimination espoused in the Marriage Act removed.

"The Greens are the only party in the Parliament with a commitment to delivering equal marriage rights for all, and we will push for this in the next parliamentary term, regardless of who forms Government. Our commitment on this issue is second to none," said Senator Hanson-Young.

"I will re-introduce my Marriage Equality Bill on the first day of the new Parliament, and will continue to pressure both sides of politics to grant their members a conscious vote on this important issue.

"The fact that an agreement could not be reached with the Labor Party on equal marriage and other Green policy priorities does not preclude the Greens from continuing to promote these issue. In fact the agreement expressly notes this," said Senator Hanson-Young on the Greens' decision to support a minority Labor Government.

"The arrangement around improved parliamentary processes ensures that minor parties and independents have more of an ability to strive for change.

"This exciting new political terrain that we have entered ensures that with enough community support and parliamentary pressure, progressive outcomes for the good of the community can be achieved," said Senator Hanson-Young.
