National marriage equality lobby group, Australian Marriage Equality, says it will actively campaign for pro-equality candidates in next year’s Upper House elections.
Spokesperson, Rodney Croome, said,
“In next year’s elections we will throw our weight behind candidates who support marriage equality and hold candidates who are against it accountable.”
“AME has run successful electoral campaigns in other states, including the campaign which contributed to the election of Adam Bandt in the seat of Melbourne.”
“Our campaigns have involved electorate-wide leafleting, forums and advertising, and we will do the same here.”
Three Upper House seats are up for election in May next year – Nelson which is currently represented by Jim Wilkinson, Pembroke represented by Vanessa Goodwin and Montgomery represented by Sue Smith.
“These three Upper House members have a clear choice – if you support a reform the majority of Tasmanians want, you will have our support too,” said Mr Croome.
