Today Australia’s Governor General, Sir Peter Cosgrove, gave Royal Assent to the bill, and it is now law. The first same-gender weddings can be held on January 9.
Congratulations, Australia!

So was this a result of your intense lobbying while you were in coiuntry?
Obviously. Plus, being an annoying reminder to them: A happily married gay couple daring to go about our business all married and stuff. And part of a large extended family as a married couple. And fully accepted as a married couple by our country and society. Australians really hate it when New Zealanders don't even have to do anything and still be obviously better than they are.
So, obviously the Australian Parliament had to fix that by enacting marriage equality. Now they'll claim they had it before New Zealand. And so it goes. 😉
