High Court's same
One of the biggest decisions in Australia's marriage equality debate drew just about everyone onto social media on Thursday.
Australia's High Court handed down a decision Thursday to allow the federal government to lawfully use $122 million to implement a postal plebiscite on the matter of same-sex marriage. The non-binding, no-compulsory survey will ask the question: “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?”

It's been one of the most anticipated decisions in Australia this week — it even caused the High Court website to crash. And many Australians took to social media with their reactions, from politicians to activists and everyone in between.

Australians will receive their postal survey after Sept. 12 and will have until Nov. 7 to mail it back to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Then, the survey results will be announced on Nov. 15, after which the issue will be voted upon in federal parliament.
