“There is a massive mood for change on marriage equality around Australia, and this poll is further evidence of that,” Executive Director of The Australia Institute, Ben Oquist said.
“Warringah voters look set to overwhelmingly back marriage equality and they do not appear to be buying into the line that the survey has anything to do with free speech or political correctness.
“Time and again polls show the majority of Australians, the majority of Liberal voters back same sex marriage. This non-binding postal poll is likely to tell the Government what everybody already knows,” said Oquist.
