Australian Story

Here Come the Brides (23x1)


Udgivelsesdato: Feb 05, 2018

Like many families across the country, the family of Christine Forster and her brother, former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, was divided by the same-sex marriage debate. After 10 years together, Christine has married her long-term partner Virginia Flitcroft, in one of 2018’s first high-profile gay weddings. Invitees to the wedding included well-known drag queens, Liberal politicians, and Tony Abbott and his mother Fay, both of whom voted against same-sex marriage last year. But beyond the champagne, frocks and flowers is a story of overcoming heartbreak, regret and family divisions. Australian Story goes behind the scenes at the wedding and speaks exclusively to Christine’s friends and family, documenting her journey from a Catholic, married mother of four, to high profile same-sex marriage lobbyist and Liberal politician. Ultimately, it’s a love story and a wedding not to be missed.
