Marriage equality advocates were joined by Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young just before midday in Canberra today to push for a new Senate inquiry on the issue, which they believe would help tackle lingering concerns held by some MPS as well as members of the wider community.
Australian Marriage Equality (AME) convener Alex Greenwich said that an inquiry would be beneficial as far more was now known about how marriage equality laws were faring in other countries since the last inquiry in 2009.
“Far more countries have introduced marriage equality, far more research has been done and far more is known about the positive impacts it has on marriage and on society,” he said.
