ACT Legalises Homosexual Civil Unions


The Rev Hon Fred Nile, Leader of the Christian Democratic Party, has called on the Federal Government to invalidate the ACT Civil Unions legislation, which is a backdoor way of legalising same sex homosexual ‘marriages’.

‘The ACT Civil Unions Act which was passed on Thursday 11th May, 2006, mimics marriage so that homosexual civil unions are treated as if they were legal marriages and entail the same processes as marriage, eg signing a statutory declaration, having two public witnesses and a ceremony of union conducted by a licensed civil celebrant’ said Rev Fred Nile MLC.

‘I urge all supporters of marriage to write/Email the Prime Minister John Howard, C/- Parliament House, Canberra, ACT, 2600, or www.pm.gov.au requesting him to invalidate the ACT Civil Unions Act which is in conflict with the Federal Marriage Act’ said pro marriage campaigner Rev Hon Fred Nile MLC.
