The majority of Australians support legalizing same-sex marriage, the results of a survey by the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed.
More than three quarters of the country’s eligible voters took part in the non-compulsory survey. The poll is non-binding but the government has pledged to put a proposal to Parliament if voters were in favour of same-sex marriage.
Early reporting from the Australian Broadcasting Corp. said the result of the postal survey came in with 61 per cent supporting making a change in the law to allow same-sex marriage, and 38.4 per cent against.
