Australian Marriage Equality (AME) today launched its ‘Vote 4 Equality’ election site in the lead up to the Federal Election.
“This site has been designed to ensure that every Australian is empowered with the knowledge and understanding of where their political party and candidates sit on the issue of marriage equality”, Australian Marriage Equality National Spokesperson, Shirleene Robinson said.
“This is not an endorsement of any candidate or party but provides an understanding of where everyone stands on equality and a fair go for every Australian.
“Regardless of who wins the next election, we need to ensure we have a parliament where a majority of MPs and Senator support marriage equality.
“Australian Marriage Equality has campaigns happening from Penrith to Perth with locals working to win over the hearts and minds of candidates and their communities.
“This election has seen a huge effort from AME supporters, engaging candidates and communities across more than 30 Seats across Australia.
“Our campaign is about having conversations with Australians from all walks of life across the country on why marriage equality matters.
“It’s also important that we have an open and positive discussion about why marriage matters to all Australians.
“Our Australian values are based on a fair go and respect for all and it’s important these values underpin the national conversation on marriage equality,” Ms Robinson concluded.
