Advocates have welcomed support for marriage equality from yet another Australian local council.

Ashfield Council in NSW has voted to support the reform and will write to the federal government asking it to act.

The vote came just a day after similar votes by Maribyrnong and Shepparton councils in Victoria.

Australian marriage equality national director, Rodney Croome, said,

“Support for marriage equality from local government is not only increasing but accelerating.”

“The message to the federal government is that marriage equality can no longer be delayed or deferred.”
