Rebecka Davidsson

Dear Prime Minister,

I seek any correspondence between the former Prime Minister office of Tony Abbott and the government backbencher Ewen Jones about a free vote for same-sex marriage in Australia.

As an international student I want to know why Australia does not support same-sex marriage as the last western country in the world to acknowledge the rights for homosexual people.

Yours faithfully,

Rebecka Davidsson
