Victorian Liberal politician Tim Wilson proposed to his partner, Ryan Bolger, during Question Time in Parliament on December 4.

Wilson was speaking about the proposed same-sex marriage bill, mentioning his own experience living as a gay man and the fear in his youth about coming out.

About the proposed legislation, Wilson said for him and his partner, “This debate has been the soundtrack to our relationship.”

“The only question that remains is – will you marry me?”

Bolger nodded yes and called out ‘yes’ and the response was recorded in Parliament’s Hansard transcripts. Credit: Australian Parliament House via Storyful
