GetUp have helped people achieve great things here recently. By simply adding your name to this petition you can help shock complacent politicians into action. GetUp have shown that politicians don't ignore such massive campaigns, and now with an election coming up they can't afford to neglect us.

71% of Australians, and even 63% of Coalition voters believe same sex couples should have the same rights as hetero couples.

Actually the petition has a drop-down list to choose your country from so it seems they're encouraging people from around the world to add their voices to it. That's a great idea I think, because it is scary for politicians to see tens of thousands of voters standing up saying they're out of step, but it is another kind of worry for them to see people around the world condemning them as backward too.
