This petition of concerned citizens, in support of marriage as currently defined in the Marriage Act 1961 (Cth) draws to the attention of the House:

      Marriage Act 1961

            We therefore ask the House to maintain support for marriage as currently defined in the Marriage Act 1961 (Cth) and reject any proposal to amend its definition.

            from 42 citizens

            from 25 citizens

            from 5 citizens

            from 48 citizens

            To the Honourable T he Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives

            We, who sign below on this petition, do not agree with the proposal to recognise same sex marriage as being a lawful part of the Marriage Act of Australia.

            We therefore ask the House to keep the Marriage Act of Australia as it is and make no change .
