Why should people do this?

For the last year we've been busy liaising with key decision makers, writing letters to every MP and Senator and visiting politicians face-to-face to urge them to grant same sex couples the same legal rights as de facto couples.

The laws that would do so are currently before Parliament, but some are trying to frustrate the process.
