#8 Plebiscite Passes The Lower House... PARTY!

We are happy. So very happy.

In what could be our season finale we discuss what it was like at the announcement, Golems dropped his bill and what happens now.

Well, I guess we should set a date then?

Kyran and Rhys chat on the eve of the announcement of the results from "The Official Australian Non-Binding Non-Complusory National Public Same Sex Marriage Survey."

Excellent breakdown of everything you need to know by Lane Sainty: https://www.buzzfeed.com/lanesainty/its-happening-guys?utm_term=.uvWZADNKA#.amPVkMprk

Kyran and Rhys ponder how this just keeps going.

Kyran and Rhys chat about *that* headbutt, and Sam Newmans display on the footy show, and Josh Thomas's excellent fundraising with Craigburn Primary school and also just generally have some lols. Might be needed at the moment.

This episode is a little weird. Kyran interviews a "No" hoper.

Brendan Maclean joins Rhys and Kyran and they get quite deep on the side affects of a debate like this.

Lane will be back next time. And a big announcement in the works... news soon.

Rhys and Kyran are joined by old friend and ex-housemate Thomas Ballard just hours after the High Court of Australia handed down it's decision to allow the non-binding national postal survey/quiz thing.

Is it in our best interest to ridicule the opposition? Rhys and Kyran discuss.

To help the campaign go to www.yes.org.au and get involved!!

Canberra insider and Chief Minister of the ACT Andrew Barr has one or two opinions on the state of marriage equality, why it is important, and when it might happen.

But first, as we're in Canberra for the comedy festival, we workshop Canberra a little bit.

And also there's a great buggery joke.

Kyran Wheatley and Rhys Nicholson hosting as always.

Lane Sainty will be back in the coming weeks.

After Lane Sainty of Buzzfeed News walks us through the Coopers controversy and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton's outbursts against corporate support for marriage equality, listener Kate walks Kyran Wheatley and Rhys Nicholson through the reasons that she and her girlfriend/partner/fiance Phoebe have decided not to wait, and just get married without the law on their side.
