Marriage Equality Vote

Posted on by Dr Zuleyka Zevallos

Do you believe in human rights? ENROL TO VOTE! Against the will of the Australian majority, the Australian Government is imposing an expensive plebiscite on marriage equality… which is not clearly legal (Australians haven’t voted on legislation via this type of postal poll before) and it is not clear if the outcome will be legally binding. The postal vote ensures Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in remote regions will not be counted. Nevertheless, the postal vote is here and we must all vote because a negative outcome in protest is what the Government is banking on to abscond their responsibility to ensure the human rights of LGBTQIA people.

I updated my address the day this nonsense was confirmed – have you? If you turn 18 years old by 15 November GET ENROLLED! You only have until 24 August.

We must express a united voice: vote YES to marriage equality.
