Australian Greens Leader Bob Brown says the Greens will work hard with the next government to get a conscience vote on Greens legislation to remove discrimination against same-sex couples in Australian marriage laws.

Speaking in Hobart, Senator Brown called on both Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott to agree to a conscience vote in the next 12 months in both houses of Parliament.

“If that happened, I reckon the law would change. That would bring us up with other countries like Mexico, Argentina, Canada and South Africa,” Senator Brown said.
