Conservative by name only:Lib MLC's back gay marriage

Three Coalition members of the NSW Legislative Council have betrayed voters and party members by defying federal leader Tony Abbott to back homosexual marriage.

(Left-right) Trevor Khan, Scot MacDonald and Upper House President Don Harwin all support the proposal, and the first two are likely to vote to back gay marriage in a motion of support. Mr Harwin cannot vote as he is the Presiding Officer.

As one Federal Liberal MP once said ''Nobody joins the Liberal Party to be left-wing. If you stand for compulsory student unionism, drug-injecting rooms and lowering the [homosexual] age of consent, you can choose the Greens, Labor or the Democrats."

Shame on these three for betraying Liberal and National Party members and for betraying conservative voters.

UPDATE:

National Sarah Mitchell, elected at the last election joins the club.
