The Capital Territory is a self-governing area which includes the nation’s capital of Canberra. By a 32-30 vote in the Senate, Australia’s federal government succeeded Thursday in upholding its ban on the capital territory’s legislation enabling civil unions between same-sex couples.
Australian Prime Minister John Howard said the unions envisioned by the legislation were too similar to marriage. In 2004, Australia formalized its federal marriage laws to ensure that the incidents of marriage could only be bestowed on a man and a woman.
Carlson commented: “The ACT move was a Trojan Horse. Once all of the rights and privileges flowing from marriage are bestowed on same-sex couples, it’s illogical to withhold the name.”
“The Howard government rightly understands that creating pseudo-unions which ape traditional marriage devalues the only unions capable of producing children. It undermines the natural family – the only arrangement for successfully nurturing the next generation,” Carlson observed.
Carlson noted that, even in secular Europe, the value of traditional marriage has recently been affirmed. In March, a commission established by the President of the French National Assembly recommended against extending marriage to same-sex couples in France. Its report declared that the interests of children are paramount here, that “marriage is not merely the contractual recognition of the love between a couple; it is a framework that implies rights and duties, and is designed to provide for the care and harmonious development of the child.”
