GetUp! Action for Australia releases "Love Story"

GetUp is an Australian independent community advocacy organisation giving people the opportunity to get involved and hold politicians accountable on important issues. Many of their videos are in an educational form, often promoting a scientific and reasoned view. Recently they launched a climate change campaign after a rather significant public backlash against the taxing of carbon.

Their latest focuses is marriage equality, on the eve of a conscience vote on the issue at the ALP National Conference. This is where the current governing Labor Party will decide on their stance to ending marriage discrimination.

GetUp's basic message: "We've removed discrimination from our hearts -- now it's time to remove it from our laws."
