Disappointing vote in Gay Marriage Bill. [View all]

The vote was 98-42 against the bill.

Very disappointing that intelligent people like Craig Emerson and Kevin Rudd voted against. Voting for were Greg Combet, Bill Shorten, Peter Garrett, Nicola Roxon, Jenny Macklin, Stephen Smith, Anthony Albanese, Jason Clare, Kate Ellis, Tanya Plibersek, and cross-benchers Craig Thomson, Rob Oakeshott, Adam Bandt, Andrew Wilkie.

Here's the list from the draft Hansard for those interested: http://twitpic.com/aw5625
