Getup - Equal Before the Law
Oct. 14th, 2008 09:57 pmfrom the Getup Equal Before the Law campaign.
71% of Australians believe same s-x couples should have the same rights as de facto couples, as does every Australian State and Territory Government.
Despite this, in almost 60 pieces of federal legislation, same s-x couples are discriminated against – an affront to our basic values of fairness and justice.
Finally, laws to address this discrimination are before Parliament, but some opposed to removing the discrimination are trying to introduce amendments to frustrate and delay the bill. Can you join me in signing this petition today to help finally wipe this discrimination off the books?

We all deserve to live our lives free from government discrimination. This petition could be the difference in finally scrapping these laws. Your signature can help start us firmly on the path towards greater equality.
We need every last signature to convince the remaining doubters that no excuses remain for not wiping this discrimination off the books. Will you join me and add to the final figure being presented to politicians before they vote?
