Repeal "Freedom of Marriage Act" is the sixth resolution and second repeal to be adopted by the WA General Assembly in the year 2015. It declared null and void a mandate for legal same-sex marriage passed in the early days of the WA, on the grounds of redundancy. It is the first successful repeal introduced by Omigodtheykilledkenny under the mandate of the World Assembly, and that delegation's fourth successful repeal overall.
Although Freedom of Marriage Act (FOMA) was a popular target for repeal-authors since it was enacted in 2008, this marked the first time a repeal of the act reached quorum and went to vote. Much to the surprise of the authors, at least, it passed by a very wide margin and with little controversy or dissent on the General Assembly floor.
