Marriage Petition to the 2011 ALP National Conference

Resolutions calling on the Australian Government to retain the current definition of marriage have been passed by –

Members of churches are being urged add their voices through a petition being circulated by the Australian Christian Lobby. It affirms the current definition of marriage as “the union of a man and a women to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life”.

The hope is to have 100,000 people sign the petition before the ALP’s National Conference in December.  The conference is expected to consider whether the ALP should change its current policy of marriage being only between a man and a women.

From the Australian Christian Lobby website:

“…the ALP is under enormous pressure both from the Greens and from within the Party to change its marriage policy at its National Conference on December 2 … the only hope of stopping such a change is to demonstrate that it would be ‘electoral suicide‘ to do so – because marriage is so important to average Australians.”
