Many Australians object to having the state
control their freedoms. The most recent being
the attempt to regulate the media. Yet these
same people do not object to the Marriage Act.

Why legislate marriage at all?

Shouldn't consenting adults be able to make
unions they wish provided it does not interfere
with the right of others?

'Shouldn't consenting adults be able to make

They Can.

I did.

"Should we get rid of the Marriage Act?"

No... as it constitutes compensation in providing the only physical pleasure for most people who are married.

Dear Houellie,

So did I. However according to the
Marriage Act not everyone is given
that choice. Why should the law
dictate who we should marry?

Dear WmT,

I think you've missed the point.

what freedoms does the Act interfere with?

Thanks Lexi, I fully support!

Get government out of our life - about 90% of legislation should be repealed, including the marriage act.
