“I wish the standard of this debate would perhaps be a little better than suggesting that marriage equality will somehow lead to polygamy,” Senator Wong said.

Senator Wong said some the arguments being put forward against marriage equality were illogical and offensive.

The South Australian senator’s comments come after Liberal senator Eric Abetz told SKY News that allowing same sex marriage would open a ‘Pandora’s Box’ of problems. Senator Abetz listed the push for polyamorous relationships as his top concern.
