Australian Marriage Equality has welcomed the support of popular radio station Nova FM, who have become the latest corporation to throw their support behind the campaign for marriage equality.
The on-air announcement during the “Fitzy and Wippa” breakfast show said:
“We’re proud to support this campaign and do whatever we can to bring about equality for all Australians.”
The announcement follows Google launching a global campaign to support marriage equality, and popular retailer LUSH beginning a week long petition and fundraising drive for marriage equality in their stores Australia wide (details here).
Australian Marriage Equality, National Convener, Alex Greenwich has welcomed the announcement:
“Nova joins a growing list of Australian companies who have embraced the importance equality and the benefits it will deliver to couples, families and communities across the country”
“Whether it’s an internet giant like Google, a radio station like NOVA, or a retailer like LUSH, corporate Australia understands that marriage equality is an issue a majority of Australians want to see happen in this term of government”.
Recent polling shows 61% of Australians want to see marriage equality legislated during this term of government (details here). Yesterday marriage equality advocates announced that they were just 10 votes away from marriage equality passing the senate (details here).
“With a vote on marriage equality expected within months now is the time for Australians to write, email, and call their elected officials and urge them to vote for this vital reform.
