Opponents’ poll finds equal marriage a “low priority” issue in Australia

A poll commissioned by the Ambrose Centre for Religious Liberty, an Austrlian body which opposes same-sex marriage, has found that more people support gay marriage rights than not, but that it is not a top priority in the country.

The survey found 49% in favour of changing the law to encompass equal marriage rights, compared with 40% opposed.

27% of respondents thought it was a “very important” issue, whereas many more thought hospital access (86%), immigration (48%), cost of living (73%), carbon taxes (53%) and euthanasia (43%) were that pressing.

The majority of respondents, 61%, thought a prolonged debate was “a waste of resources”.

Ambrose Centre’s chairperson Rocky Mimmo said earlier this year: “The union of same-sex genders is not in conformity with nature, biological design nor anatomical construction.”
