Australians should think about supporting the campaign for marriage equality when they come to setting their New Year’s resolutions for 2011, according to Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young.
“Lots of Australians have never met with their local member of Parliament. Most of us set New Year’s resolutions, but unfortunately we don’t always keep them. Meeting with your local MP to explain your support for marriage equality is a New Year’s resolution everyone can keep. And it’s one that will have a lasting impact,” said the Greens’ Spokesperson for Sexuality and Gender Identity, Senator Hanson-Young.
The Senator made the comments in response to a new webpage launched today by Australian Marriage Equality which assists people in setting up a meeting with their MP.
“It’s clear that the momentum for marriage equality is growing. This has been a huge issue in 2010 and it’s only going to get bigger in 2011. This is an opportunity for all Australians to play their part in the debate and to try to influence policy making for the better,” said Senator Hanson-Young.
