The dinner was won by GetUp and Australian Marriage Equality in a charity auction in June. There are three gay marriage private members bills before federal parliament.

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard revealed yesterday that her personal stance against gay marriage was due to her conservative upbringing. Ms Gillard said she was “on the conservative side” of the gay marriage issue “because of the way our society is and how we got here”.
“As long as we rule the country, gay marriages will never be on a par with traditional families”, stated Mr Berlusconi.
