Churchgoers have been urged to vote against redefining marriage in Australia, as 16 million citizens are balloted from September to November in the postal survey.
The result will be non-binding, but is likely to produce a change in legislation if the people vote ‘yes’ to the question: ‘Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?’
Ahead of the vote, one senator called for Parliament to pass laws protecting those who disagree with same-sex marriage.
