(Australia) - Federal Liberal MP Warren Entsch will present Prime Minister John Howard with a petition signed by 25,000 people which calls for an end to discrimination against same-sex couples. Mr Entsch today said he hoped to present a copy of the online petition organised by activist group Get Up! to Mr Howard today or tomorrow. The petition addressed to Mr Howard and Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd reads: "Same-sex couples should have the same legal rights as de facto heterosexual couples. "I call upon you to make this first step towards equality by immediately legislating to end discrimination against same-sex couples.''
