In June 2014, Crosby Textor Group^[235] was commissioned by Australian Marriage Equality to poll the public on same-sex marriage. Their survey included the following questions on the common reasons for opposition:^[236]

Reason Agree (%) Disagree (%)

1 People who choose to be gay know that their choice means they cannot get married 30% 58%

2 It is fine for same-sex couples to have a ceremony, but it should not be called ‘marriage’ 30% 63%

3 The recognition of de facto relationships and civil unions is enough; we don’t need same-sex marriage too 29% 63%

4 Children need both a mother and a father, and legalising same-sex marriage could break that down 29% 65%

5 The institution is already under threat and should not be further undermined by this 24% 67%

6 Marriage is only meant to be between a man and a woman, so this is wrong and should not be encouraged 24% 69%

7 Marriage is a religious institution and no changes should be made to it against the wishes of religious groups 23% 70%

8 Same-sex marriages could devalue traditional marriages 22% 73%

9 Allowing same-sex marriage will lead to some people losing their religious freedoms 16% 72%

10 Allowing same-sex marriage is a slippery slope and could lead to issues like polygamy 17% 74%

House of Representatives[edit]

MPs who have publicly declared their support of same-sex marriage in the Australian House of Representatives:^[83]^[98]^[99]^[100]^[101]

Margaret is expressing her views. The Project panel disagree with her (not sure about Waleed - has he ever said he agrees rather than just quoting the polling?). Lets have a plebiscite to find the answer and then the issue will be resolved
