As a conservative UK government pushes ahead with marriage equality, Australian Marriage Equality’s (AME) new Victorian co-convenors say Australia is falling behind the times.
Co-convenor Christine Cooke said existing opposition to the past marriage equality bills made no sense as the spin-off would solve many lingering human rights issues for LGBTI people.
Cooke and her fellow co-convenor Tim Peppard have taken over the local side of lobbying after former head Carl Katter stepped down last month.
