Although Australians voted overwhelmingly for marriage equality in mid-November, there had been a push by conservative politicians for amendments to the bill that claim to protect religious freedoms.
The amendments allow civil celebrants to reject weddings of LGBTQ couples and allow people to speak out about their view of marriage without fear of legal repercussions. These have been labelled as "superfluous" by conservative politician Christopher Pyne, who said he would vote against the amendments.
However, the bill passed without any of the proposed amendments in a landslide vote for yes. There were fewer than five MPs who opposed the vote.

Now it's off to the Governor-General for royal assent. Then, 28 days after royal assent, same-sex marriage will officially be legal in Australia.
Better start planning those weddings.
