The ABS has released the results of the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey, showing 61.6% of Australians support changing the law to allow same-sex couples to marry and 38.4% of Australians are opposed. The final ABS results are remarkably similar to the results of a Roy Morgan Snap SMS Survey taken in early October which showed 61.5% of Australians voting "Yes" on the survey while the remaining 38.5% of respondents were either voting "No", did not answer the SMS question or had no intention of voting. Analysing the results of the Roy Morgan Snap SMS Survey we were confident enough to headline the article: Australians are voting in favour of same sex marriage. Roy Morgan’s Industry Communications Director, Norman Morris, says the results of the Roy Morgan Snap SMS Survey a month ago shows that using the correct methodology and sampling techniques it is possible to interview a relatively small portion of Australians and receive a robust and accurate picture of how the Australian community feels about an issue.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says same-sex marriage will be legalised before Christmas, after 133 of the 150 federal electorates and every state and territory voted in favour of marriage equality. The Senate is expected to vote on the same-sex marriage bill in the last week of November, with the lower house to vote on it during the following week. Meanwhile, members of the Liberal Party’s conservatives faction continue to advocate some aspects of James Paterson’s private members’ bill, which provide greater protection for religious freedom than Dean Smith’s bill, which has cross-party support.
