In a secret meeting last week, Australia’s Prime Minister banned members of his party from voting ‘Yes’ on marriage equality. It was a dirty move.
But a few brave politicians have promised to take a stand for love and vote 'Yes’ anyway. If a few more rebellious politicians join in, marriage equality could have enough support to pass.
So that got us to thinking… imagine if members of Parliament could see beautiful photos of gay and lesbian couples who HAVE been allowed to marry – like in the UK, Canada, and the USA – just before they’re deciding what to do. It’d remind them of the global wave of marriage wins and show that the tide can’t be held back.
All Out members from around the world sent in photos to make this beautiful video. If enough people chip in, we can buy an advertising slot on Sky News – a channel that streams inside Parliament. The powerful message could get enough politicians to join the rebellion and vote 'Yes’ on marriage equality.
Will you chip in to make it happen? Here’s the link: go.allout.org/en/a/australia-equality-advert
And share widely!
Here’s the deal: there’s a marriage equality bill on the table in Australia, and the government is deciding right now whether to block it. They need some love.
Will you post a photo to send to politicians trying to block equality? (Think wedding pics, selfies with the person you love, or just you with a note! Just like these amazing ones from All Out members worldwide.)
Tag it with #DearOz and we’ll put your pictures from around the world where the government can’t ignore them. If you don’t want to post, you can send them over to [email protected].

So, the Australian government today announced, that they are abolishing the piss poor replacement piece of shit body that governs infant formula marketing.
The marketing code in Australia only covered infant formula up to 12 months, so “Toddler formula” with the exact same branding and messaging as infant formula was created. But at least there was something..
So far, there’s nothing that will replace APMAIF. Tony Abbott is once again a huge fucknuckle of a syphillitic scrotum, who believes that anyone who is not rich as fuck white man (or one of the women he owns) is not worthy of any government spending.
Now, there will literally be nothing to stop unethical marketing to persuade new parents who are extra vulnerable to marketing to buy their brand of formula. Nothing to make sure that if extra ingredients in infant formula are beneficial for babys development, that they are put in ALL infant formulae, and not just the premium priced ones.
Nothing to stop unethical marketing practices that serve to convince new parents that they should doubt the lactation process without good reason. Nothing to stop infant formula and baby food manufacturers from encouraging parents to introduce foods in ways that might be damaging to their baby even though it lines the pockets of the greedy rich fucks.
FUCK YOU, AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT

Tony Abbott has taken money out of Royal Commission into child abuse and putting it into Royal Commission into insulation. Abbott will always protect his mates in the church.
Australia’s Prime Minister once gave a glowing character reference for a pedophile priest in court.
