Petitions

Marriage

To the Honourable The Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives

This petition of Parishioners of Saint Agnes' Catholic Church, Highett Vic. 3190, draws to the attention of the 'House' that the existing Marriage Act, should be kept intact.

We therefore ask the 'House' :

To consider our position on the meaning of marriage. Given the variety of domestic arrangements available in Australia, we request that you protect the unique institution of marriage as traditionally understood and actually lived as the complementary love between a man and a woman.
