In a dramatic lift in support, new research reveals that Australians are now strongly in favour of equal marriage rights for lesbian and gay Australians.
The Australian GetUp! civil rights organisation, commissioned Galaxy research that shows 57% of Australians now believe that gays and lesbians deserve the right to marry.
In related news, the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission released a long awaited report on same sex rights in Australia: Same-Sex: Same Entitlements that proceeds on the basis that all Australians have the right to expect equal treatment before the law.
The report quotes Article 26 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights:
"All persons are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to the equal protection of the law. In this respect, the law shall prohibit any discrimination and guarantee to all persons equal and effective protection against
discrimination on any ground..."
It seems obvious that all Australian citizens ought to be considered entitled to equal treatment before the law and we hope this report might see the Australian government move towards the position being adopted by progressive governments all over the world.
An Australian general election is scheduled for later this year and conservative leader, John Howard currently trails his opposition counterpart, Kevin Rudd in the latest opinion polls.
