(Australia) - Thousands of people marched August 12 in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney as part of the National Day of Action, which marked the three year anniversary of gay marriage being outlawed. The largest of the marches was in Melbourne, where more than 5,000 people attended. All the marches were peaceful. Prime Minister John Howard's Liberal government passed federal legislation in 2004 banning same-sex marriage. Earlier this year he proposed that HIV positive immigrants should not be allowed into the country. Howard is due to stand for re-election at the end of this year.
