Warren Entsch, from Abbott's Liberal Gathering, tabled the cross-party private individuals bill — in spite of an administration meeting a week ago rule against permitting MPs a free vote on the issue, viably finishing any trusts of enactment passing.
"This bill is intended to advance a comprehensive Australia, not a partitioned one," said Entsch.
"A partitioned country is the thing that we will be in the event that we keep on allowwing segregation in connection to marriage on the premise of a man's sexuality."
Wrangle on the bill was dismissed.
Australia is seen as falling behind a developing number of nations on marriage change and backing for change is ascending with a survey in Fairfax Media on Monday demonstrating 69 percent of 1,402 respondents for equivalent rights, up from 57 percent five years prior.
Abbott, a preservationist who once prepared to be a Catholic minister, has since quite a while ago contradicted change on the issue and a meeting of his Liberal/National coalition a week ago chose the administration would stay against gay marriage amid the present parliament.
The choice implied an end to any expectations of a free vote, in which government officials vote as per their heart instead of along partisan principals.
This could have seen the marriage change bill passed if government MPs who bolster gay marriage were permitted to agree with restriction Work and free MPs to secure a dominant part.
In a concession, Abbott proposed the issue could be put to a well known vote after the following decision, expected sooner or later one year from now.
Yet, parts have risen inside of his frontbench about whether that would be best served through an established submission or a sentiment survey style plebiscite.
The issue has arrived at a head with the decision preservationists heading for race thrashing, as indicated by the Fairfax survey which demonstrated that on a two-gathering premise Work leads Abbott's coalition 54 to 46.
"This is something that has been the way it right now is for a huge number of years, many years, it's a major choice to roll out an improvement like this," Abbott said on Monday of marriage change.
"I don't say that it's not a choice that the group won't grasp eventually.
"In any case, the choice that came emphatically out of our gathering room a week ago was that this ought not be the legislators' choice, it ought to be the individuals' choice and that is the thing that will happen in the following term of parliament. It ought to be an individuals' decision."
Same-sex couples can have common unions or register their connections in many states crosswise over Australia, however the administration does not think of them as wedded under national law.
Labor leader Bill Shorten has pledged to legalise gay marriage if he wins the next election.
