The Australian Parliament should also pass the Marriage Equality Bill 2014 into law – but we all know that is not going to happen until at least 2023 (Three Federal Elections away)!

A timely reminder to all parliamentarians that they have an obligation to ensure that the laws they enact serve the interests of all Australians and not just those who share their personal religious convictions.

In reply to Bill. Tony Abbott certainly wouldn't; The Endeavour Forum is one of Cardinal Pells firmest supporters with Kevin Andrews periodically guest speaker. Many of their articles on Islam have now been removed since he started changing his mentality on Muslims, where the Vatican earlier stated they were "one of the most serious and biggest assaults on Christianity that history remembers", not happy with them migrating from Muslim countries as refugees to Italy.

Tony Abbott and Denise Napthine should be demoting Ministers who are giving legitimacy to extreme fundamentalist that seek to make us the target of violence. I simply do not see the difference supporting a Muslim terrorist group or this mob. Religion has no place as a platform for bigotry and terror. The Congress of Families is seeking to bring significant harm to society, and I cannot understand why a Minister would help such an extremist group.

It is deeply disturbing we are being setup as targets of violence by the failure of leadership in the Abbott and Napthine governments.
