Rugby player and LGBTIQ ally David Pocock has officially married his long-time partner Emma on the weekend.
The Wallabies star and his partner Emma held a commitment ceremony in , but vowed they wouldn’t officially marry until their gay friends were also able to.
On Monday, Pocock posted three photos to social media from the bush ceremony on Sunday, including a photo of the pair holding hands under a tree, and one of them in the company of their celebrant.
&#;Married my best mate yesterday,&#; he wrote.
“I hope we can live into the words of Rilke: ‘The point of marriage is not to produce a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude, and thus they show each other the greatest possible trust.
“&#;A merging of two people is an impossibility, and where it seems to exist, it is a hemming-in, a mutual consent that robs one party or both parties of their fullest freedom and development.
&#;&#;But once the realisation is accepted that even between the closest p
Be careful! Without a magic crystal ball, there's no way to predict with absolute certainty what representatives will carry out in future, no matter what they promise you now or how they voted in the past. Nonetheless, exploring how they voted before can help you decide who to support in an election.

Wallabies stalwart David Pocock has made his mark on and off the field, writes TOM DECENT in the latest issue of SA Rugby Magazine.
It’s an overcast afternoon in London in November and David Pocock is sitting in a small cafe proximate Wembley Stadium.
Quite frankly, he’s a little bored. The Wallabies back rower is speaking above half a dozen tape recorders sprawled across a cream table about his impending month sabbatical from Test rugby as part of a flexible deal his management struck with the Australian Rugby Union (as they were known then).
Pocock is polite – as always – but dislikes talking about himself and at times finds answering rugby-specific questions tiresome.
As the interview progresses without anything noteworthy, out of nowhere someone asks the man with arms like tree trunks what he thinks about Donald Trump being elected US president – news that broke a few weeks earlier when the Wallabies were in Edinburgh.
Pocock immediately snaps out of his semi-daze and his eyes widen. Finally, a chance to talk about something he really cares about – politics.

Australian rugby player David Pocock tackles homophobia in same-sex marriage debate
Talk about a strong ally. (Not to mention hot, on numerous levels.)
Showing what a real guy is, Australian rugby player David Pocock (a pox on anyone who jokes about his call, you silly lot) took on Australian Liberal MP John Alexander on the talk show Q and A.
Alexander's Liberal party opposes gay marriage, and defends the definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Pocock addressed the responsibility that athletes have when using social media like Twitter, and the need for users to be accountable for homophobic, sexist, and racist comments. He also touched upon the pressing need in Australia to discuss discrimination against gay athletes and homophobia in sports. (In North America, homophobia in sports has begun to be addressed by campaigns verb You Can Play and even the Vancouver Canucks' Manny Malhotramarched in this year's Vancouver Pride parade.)
But Pocock didn't stop there.
The Wallabies captain is such a staunch supporter of queer rights that he and his girlfri
