Opposition leader Bill Shorten had earlier put forward an amendment to stop the plebiscite and move for an free vote in parliament, but lost the vote 75 to 68.
“It is so disappointing that this is still dragging on. Like many others I was looking forward to seeing a resolution on 11 February 2017,” she said.
“My first preference has always been for a conscience vote by the Parliament on marriage equality.
“In the absence of a conscience vote I agreed to support the plebiscite but this option is now gone. I call on all parties to come together in good faith to respectfully discuss the process from here.
“I look forward to working with the government and the opposition to resolve the issue as quickly as we can.”
Senate resumes on November 7.
