A three-year-old boy is incredibly upset about one thing, and it is not about juice boxes or wanting to play video games.

He’s said same-sex marriage is still not legal in Australia, and he will definitely make his voice heard.

In the video below, an Australian couple is discussing marriage with their son, and he says he would quite like to ‘marry Mommy’ but is told he can’t because she ‘already has a husband’.

But when he is told Prime Minister Julia Gillard will not let him have a husband either, a temper tantrum follows.

Australia's prime minister Julia Gillard and opposition leader Tony Abbott have ruled out a referendum on same-sex marriage in September.

Independent MP Tony Wilson yesterday suggested holding a referendum on the matter on the same day as the general election, 14 September.

Australian opposition leader Tony Abbott has left open the door for fellow MPs to make a conscience vote on same-sex marriage.

This came on the heels of his Liberal party’s New South Wales premier coming out in support of same-sex marriage and calling for free choice. The party’s youth wing has also been calling on Abbott to change.

Australian Marriage Equality (AME) said they feel 'deeply embarrassed' that they are falling so far behind their neighbor is passing same-sex marriage law.

New Zealand are set to legalize gay marriage today, whereas neither Australia's prime minister Julia Gillard nor opposition leader Tony Abbott supports marriage equality.

A same-sex marriage was overwhelmingly rejected by the House of Representatives and the Senate in Australia last September.

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard refused to change her opposition to gay marriage after New Zealand passed it today (17 April).

The leader of the Labor party said she will not be moved from her stance despite her country having close ties to the Kiwi nation.

She was asked by a member of the public in Melbourne last night (16 April) on why Australia was lagging behind New Zealand when it comes to equality, the AAP reports.

‘I doubt we're going to end up agreeing,’ Gillard said.

An Australian Liberal MP has come out in support of same-sex marriage and said that her party will 'evolve in step with society's views'.

Speaking in parliament this morning, MP for Higgins (near Melbourne) Kelly O'Dwyer said she believes the Marriage Act should be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry.

'I believe that changing the Marriage Act by extending the definition to include same-sex couples will not lessen the status of families,' O'Dwyer said.  

MP for Sydney Alex Greenwich has introduced a motion to parliament condemning the conduct of the Australian Christian Lobby over the past 12 months.

'The Australian Christian Lobby has misrepresented the views of Australia’s Christian community for far too long and it is time their credibility was challenged,' said Greenwich.

The Australian Greens say a successful vote on marriage equality in the British House of Commons has inspired them to move forward with another bill on marriage equality despite previous bills being defeated in the Parliament when the Australian Opposition refused its members a conscience vote.

The House of Commons passed its bill on Tuesday in a vote of 400 to 175 votes.

British lesbian actress Miriam Margolyes has blasted England in a speech after she became a binational Australian citizen.

One of Britain’s most respected actresses, perhaps most famous as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films, criticized her native home for its class distinction.

At a citizenship ceremony presided over by Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, she said: ‘I don’t like class distinction and there is far too much of that in England.

‘There’s an energy here – an optimism, a vitality. I think England doesn’t have that any more.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced today that Australians will vote for the next government on 14 September this year.

Gillard said she has given such long notice before the election, some say the longest in history, so that the year's political debates can be 'not of fevered campaign but of cool and reasoned deliberation'.

Australian Marriage Equality said gay marriage will be a key issue in the election.

Australian Marriage Equality has hailed President Obama's unequivocal support for full gay equality and said it challenges Australia's prime minister and opposition leader to do the same.

'Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well,' said Obama in his second inauguration speech.
