Marriage equality advocates will seek a meeting with new NSW Premier, Mike Baird, to urge him to support marriage equality and a federal Coalition free vote.
Mr Baird has previously stated his opposition to same-sex marriages and voted against same-sex adoption.
Australian Marriage Equality national director, Rodney Croome, said,
“There are many examples of social conservatives changing their minds on marriage equality and we hope Mike Baird can be persuaded too.”
“At the least, we hope Mr Baird will support a federal free vote on marriage equality, and become an advocate for it to Tony Abbott.”
“We will seek a meeting with Mr Baird and encourage other supporters of marriage equality to do the same.”
