Australia: Foreign Minister Penny Wong marries her partner - News.com.au. Wong and Allouache, a public servant, met in 2007.
Wong then became one of the strongest promoters of the legalization of same-sex marriage, which was achieved in Australia in 2017. Wong has been the longest-serving minister in office in Australia, having led the climate change and finance portfolios. The ceremony was followed in the evening by a traditional "lion dance", in homage to the minister's Malaysian-Chinese origins.
