While the Senate inquiry into Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young’s marriage equality bill has closed, showing overwhelming support for the issue, a parallel House of Representatives survey on same-sex marriage closes on April 20.
With counting continuing, more than 50,000 supportive submissions were made to the Senate inquiry, while it is expected that submissions against will fall significantly below that number.
However, the survey on the two marriage equality bills before the House of Representatives is running at only 54 percent in favour of the bills and 45 percent against, with close to 65,000 responses so far.
