And that's it from me. What happened?

a two hour party room meeting rejected any changes to the Turnbull government's same-sex marriage policy ;

rejected any changes to the Turnbull government's ; the plebiscite legislation - which has already been knocked back by the Senate once - will be brought before Parliament again;

- which has already been knocked back by the once - will be brought before again; it is unlikely to be passed because key crossbenchers say they are still opposed to the idea of a plebiscite ;

say they are ; if that happens, the government says it will pursue a postal vote on marriage equality ;

; what happens after that will be discussed by a meeting of Liberal and National Party MPs tomorrow.

My thanks to Andrew Meares and Alex Ellinghausen for their work and to you for reading and commenting.
