Marriage Equality advocates have welcomed the release of the NSW Marriage Equality Bill on Valentine’s Day.

Australian Marriage Equality National Convener, Rodney Croome, said:

“Valentine’s Day is about love and what better day to release legislation which seeks to deliver marriage equality”

“The NSW Bill builds on the Tasmanian legislation. We will be reviewing it closely and provide a detailed commentary, submission, and submission guide on this important legislation”

Mr Croome congratulated the NSW Marriage Equality working group for leading by example on political cooperation:

“Have representatives from across the political spectrum working productively together augers well for the passage of the legislation”
