I rise to encourage young Australians in the Goldstein electorate to enrol so that they can participate in their government's postal survey on marriage for same-sex couples. My view on this issue is unambiguous. I have always supported a change in the law, and now you get the opportunity to have your say. If you are not currently enrolled or you are not enrolled at your current address make sure you update your details at www.aec.gov.au.

This decision is your decision and, ultimately, you have to make a choice about the direction of this country. This is an opportunity, for the first time, generationally, to make our country and our Commonwealth a better place, where every Australian grows up with a sense of dignity and purpose in their lives and is treated equally before the law. But if you don't have your say because you're not enrolled, you have to fix it before 24 August. You can do so by simply going to www.aec.gov.au. If you need assistance, don't hesitate to contact the Goldstein electorate office: the number is (03)95574644. I encourage you to participate. You won't regret it.
