Petition - leave the ACT alone Abbott

The Australian Capitol Territory (Canberra) gov is going to try and pass marriage equality. The federal gov of Abbott and co could intervene if it wants to. This petition is directed at Tony Abbott:   

The ACT should be free to pass a law allowing same-sex couples to marry within its territory. 

The ACT Government was elected on a platform of passing such legislation should the Federal Government fail to act. 

Please show the same respect to this mandate that you would want other people to show yours. 

The ACT legislation will allow Australian couples to marry in their own country for the first time with their family and friends around them. 

Like you, many Canberran families have gay loved ones. They want their loved ones to be treated fairly by the law and society. 

In the name of self-government for the ACT and the name of recognising the dignity of all relationships, please let the Territory's marriage equality law stand. sign here
