Australia: Victorian ALP Passes Resolution in Favor of Gay Marriage

The Victorian ALP has increased pressure on the federal government to allow same-sex marriages after passing a motion supporting gay unions at its state conference. A meeting of the party faithful in Melbourne on Saturday called for the federal government to change the Marriage Act to allow gay couples to marry. A similar motion was passed at Tasmania's state Labor conference in July. The state conference also called on the commonwealth attorney-general to refrain from interfering with the ACT government's steps towards relationship equality.
