\nresult of the marriage equality survey. Interestingly, the No vote
\nwas strongest in the western suburbs of Sydney that feature a large
\nimmigrant population.
\n10:21 We talk about the draft bill presented by James Paterson and the
\nnature of the exemptions that he is seeking and we also look at the
\nattitude of the Sydney Anglican Church and the Catholic Church to these
\nexemptions. David Marr in an article says that those institutions will
\nnot push for the James Paterson style amendments. We reveal a survey
\nwhich unfortunately shows that many Australians would seemingly agree
\nwith the James Paterson amendments.
\n15:11 The 12th Man and The Iron Fist engage in another round of debate
\nregarding businesses and their entitlement to discriminate against
\nvarious people in various circumstances.
\n51:25 The Iron Fist is dismayed at attempts to connect aboriginal kinship with
\nchanges to marriage equality laws.
\n1:08:55 The citizenship fiasco continues.
\n1:10:25 The Atheist convention has been cancelled.
\n1:15:08 The TPP is back
\n1:16:38 New Zealanders are looking at changing their prayer.
\n1:18:24 No more smokes being sold by The Vatican
\n1:19:30 A Church is a great place to die.
\n1:21:42 Celibacy laws to cease in Brazil?

\nThe Links
\nSame-sex\u00a0marriage survey by the stats: a resounding \u2018yes\u2019 but Western Sydney leads \u2018no\u2019\u00a0vote
\nYES\u00a07,817,247 votes; 61%
\nNO\u00a0\u00a04,873,987\u00a0votes; 38.4%
\nWhether it is 4 Corners on the Liberal Party and\u00a0Karina Alcatel, James Paterson on special exemptions or our favourite Catholic, Kristina Kinnealy\u00a0 – our listeners are ahead of the game.
\nThough wide-ranging \u201cconscience\u201d exemptions are the dream of ultra-conservatives and a handful of smaller churches, the big players in the marriage contest know the votes aren\u2019t there in parliament and that, once the public took a closer look at the proposals support, for them would die away.\u00a0\u00a0http://marker.to/9HJjWW

\nJohn Anderson has a whinge – Same-sex marriage survey sees freedom for all lost in the post
\nThe director of the Melbourne Archdiocese’s marriage office has raised concerns that legalising same-sex marriage will restrict freedom to talk and teach about a Catholic view of marriage,\u00a0http://marker.to/w5pBUQ
