BBC World Service - Sportshour, Love All: Australia Votes for Marriage Equality

Sportshour assesses the role sport played in Australia's same-sex Marriage poll.

Caroline Barker and guests assess the role sport played in Australia's same-sex marriage poll.

After Australia’s citizens voted in favour of legalising same-sex marriage in a national poll that will trigger a parliamentary debate, we assess how sport in the country may have influenced the vote. 

We're in the USA as researchers confirm the detection of the dementia-like disease CTE or "boxers brain" for the first time in a living person, a break through that could change the lives of the former NFL players suffering from the degenerative condition that’s been linked to repeated blows to the head. 

We also visit the French Space agency in Toulouse to see how the transformation Astronauts bodies go through while in Space could have wider positive implications for the world of sport.

And as the Women’s Rugby League World Cup gets underway we're in camp with the Cook Islands, a team gathered from across seas and social media to get the small island to their first World Cup for twelve years.
