One of the biggest current debates in Australia — around marriage equality — caused a government website to crash on Thursday. 。

The website for Australia's High Court was out of operation just minutes before the court handed down a decision over the legality of the federal government's same-sex marriage postal vote. And it's currently still out of action: 。

The outage came just moments before the High Court found that the government's postal vote is lawful, a green light which will enable the Australian Bureau of Statistics to send out a non-compulsory survey to enrolled Australians, asking the question: “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?”

It comes after two days of hearings at the High Court in Melbourne, unpacking whether the Australian government could lawfully use $122 million to implement a postal plebiscite on the matter of same-sex marriage. 。

The ruling has been one of the most anticipated decisions in Australia this week, so the crash comes as a minimal surprise. Members of the public, government and media alike awaited the decision on Thursday, with those outside the courtroom constantly checking the website for a result. 。
