From mid-September, Australians will begin receiving survey forms for the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey, which the Government has commissioned in place of a plebiscite.
Mr Leigh's claim is overstated. Most of the countries that Australia shares political, economic and social links with have legalised same-sex marriage. However, we are not the only "advanced English-speaking country" that has failed to do so. Singapore, an advanced English-speaking country with a population of almost 6 million people, has not even decriminalised sexual acts between two men, let alone legalised same-sex marriage. And not all parts of the United Kingdom have same-sex marriage — it is still not legal in Northern Ireland.
Fact check: Is Australia the only advanced English-speaking country without same-sex marriage?
