Good morning, and welcome to The Briefing.
Defence industry minister Christopher Pyne has been caught on tape revealing the government may enact same-sex marriage “sooner than everyone thinks” and boasting about the success of the party’s moderate faction over conservatives.
Last night columnist Andrew Bolt revealed he has obtained a recording of Pyne speaking at a Liberal Council after-party at Sydney’s Star Casino. On the tape, Pyne apparently boasts that Liberal moderates are “in the winner’s circle”, revealing that he and Attorney-General George Brandis have “voted for Malcolm Turnbull in every ballot he’s ever been in”.
