Im betting the rest of the country will soon follow suit once its proven the world wont come to an end if everyone has equal rights.

Good luck with that.

Marriage is a federal statute, not state; under the Australian constitution federal law take precedence over state; most adults are aware of this.

Good on you South Aus, ya winners. Grin

my daughters would yawn if i started talking to them about marriage at all. they see marriage as an outdated old fashioned yawn a thon.

i'm amazed the gay community care less about it.

i think some of it is a bit like telling someone "you can have any flavoured ice cream but chocalate" and watching their brain suddenly develop an over whelming desire for chocalate ice cream.

really, to your average joe (and i suspect to 90 % of gays who seem to have been joined to this agenda whether they support it or not) its about as important as whether you fill your car with shell petrol or BP petrol.
surely theres more important things for the country to worry about then the difference btween a "marriage" and a "civil union"

what exactly is the difference if i might ask. what extra rights are they currently being denied.

Just proves that you crow eaters are rolled gold morons. You can make whatever law you want and the federal government can quash it because it contravenes Section 51 of the amended marriage act 2004

The Marriage Legislation Amendment Act 2004 inserted a definition into s5(1) of the act, that reads:
“Marriage, means the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life."
The 2004 amendment addressed the issue of gay marriage in Australia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_Act_1961_(Australia)

And just to prove that SA are conducting a social wankfest, here's the specific part of the constitution that deals with marriage.

COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CONSTITUTION ACT - SECT 51
Legislative powers of the Parliament [see Notes 10 and 11]

The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of the Commonwealth with respect to:

(xxi) marriage;

Please don't disappoint me. Again.

Actually that's not what it means.

They are not changing the constitution at all, that are trying to circumvent the federal marriage act; it's all pretty self evident.

You may want to hone your bush lawyer skill with some improved comprehension there mate.

It is exactly what it means...the constitution and the law are one...the Government is subject to the Law - on major change they must go to the people with a referendum - our system of law does not allow for summary parliamentary dictatorship of the constitution and the law...

but thats sort of my point.

marriage is just becoming a big heterosexual joke

shows like
"the farmer wants a wife"
"please marry my son"
"the batchelor"

kardashians getting married for 2 weeks and making millions out of the magazine rights, katie perry, i could go on ad nauseum.

why would you want to taint your loving relationship by grouping yourself with these circuses.

i would have thought the gays were progressive and liked to set the agenda. they seem to be the last ones on a sinking band wagon.

very odd.

Media also pushing homorriage. Average Joe couldn't care less.

Coincidence?
