Giving the moment a voice. Western Australian politician Stephen Dawson made history in Australia this weekend as he married his long term partner Dennis Liddelow in Canberra - at 12:01 in front of Parliament House the ceremony was witnessed by close friends and a dozen media.
The WA State Labor MLC and his partner will arrived in Canberra on Friday night, and joined a small group of family and friends outside Parliament House for the 12.01am ceremony conducted under the ACT’s same-sex marriage law.
Several other ceremonies have taken place all over the city
Great to see so many family and children attending the celebrations
