It is such a shame, practically criminal, and a sign of the times, I guess, that two looser prime ministers are/have destroying/destroyed two (potentially) good Prime Ministers. Poisonous Abbott bringing down Turnbull, Ego maniac Rudd bringing down Gillard.
In power Gillard and Turnbull have been hamstrung by the religious right in their parties, as they've needed the religious factions to gain power. The NSW Catholic Right stopped Julia Gillard legalising gay marriage. And the luny tunes religious right of the Liberal Party is holding Malcolm Turnbull back.
The vocal religious minority has been dictating government policy in Australia for too long.
Christianity, those who identify as practising Christians, is now estimated to be approx 9% of society. It is widely accepted that gay people make up 10% of society, one in 10, so what right does the vocal religious minority have to dictate policy on marriage equality, to name just one policy area. Many conditions/diseases could be cured by stem cell therapies, and yet the religious right won't get out of the way to let the doctors practice modern medicine. Abortion should be freely available to all woman, and yet the looney Christians are still trying as hard as they can to take that right away.
