Gay marriage will likely be back on the agenda when parliament resumes after the winter break, and a vote should be held before the next election, cabinet minister Christopher Pyne says.

The US supreme court ruled on Friday that marriage equality was a nationwide right and would require all states to carry out and recognise same-sex marriage, a move Pyne described as “fascinating”.

“When we come back in spring there’s every possibility that will be back on the agenda,” he said, adding that a vote should be held this year.

Tony Abbott has said he hasn’t changed his mind on gay marriage and that the historic ruling is a matter for the Americans.

Abbott is a lot like Huckabee and the Republican Clown Car when it comes to equality. Wrong.

1. Abbott is bad

Especially on this. But I don't think he's as bad as Huckabee

This is great news!
