Glitter canons erupted at colourful gatherings across the country on 15 November 2017 as the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed that 61.6 per cent of participants had voted yes in the marriage equality plebiscite. Yes Yes Yes: Australia’s journey to marriage equality, published on the anniversary of that historic day, illuminates the official campaign’s manoeuvres.

Drawing on the recollections of two of Australian Marriage Equality’s most prominent spokespeople – independent NSW politician Alex Greenwich and Shirleene Robinson, an associate professor at Macquarie University – Yes Yes Yes commences in Canberra on 7 December 2017 when the legislation was finally passed in the federal parliament. Oddly, it offers few personal insights into the jubilation of the day. This approach is maintained as the book proceeds with a fairly straightforward timeline of events.
