But before his stunning admission in parliament today, he explained the reasons behind his decision in an exclusive interview with 10 News First Queensland's State Political Reporter Clare Barnes.
"I've made my decision having reflected on the legislation and having reflected on what I think could have been improved," he said.
"I have taken the decision not based on politics, not based on image, but based on what I believe is the right thing to do, having reflected on the legislation.
"I would like to think that Queenslanders, regardless of what their position on the matter is, will see two things; one is that I have made a decision on what I believe to be is right, not politically popular or electorally successful but what is right, based on the legislation.
"And the second is, I have given every single one of my troops the ability to do the same. Yes or no. That's what a modern, reformed, centre-right party does."
The Bill is expected to pass with 43 MPs saying they would support the laws.
