POPSAustrialia's Labor Party's debate on gay marriage It looks like there will be a free vote on the proposal with the majority of Labor in favor of gay marriage, but the Australian opposition is opposed to gay marriage and thus the proposal would fail.

I'd be careful about this relationship for may reasons, and suspect that sham marriages will continue to be looked unfavorably by the military even without DADT.
