CANBERRA — One-hundred-and-fifty people demonstrated here on April 8 in support of a bill proposed by ACT Chief Minister Jon Stanhope that would give same-sex couples access to civil unions.

After a noisy march through the city amid a sea of rainbow flags, Community Action Against Homophobia activist and Socialist Alliance member Farida Iqbal urged protesters to join a national day of action for same-sex marriage rights on August 13. The rally decided to organise another action in Canberra on May 6.
