Australia Strikes Down Law Recognizing Same-Sex Unions
The election of a conservative Christian Prime Minister has paid off. Australia has followed through on its pledge to eliminate a new law recognizing same-sex unions in Australia.
The Attorney-General used his authority Tuesday, and asked the Governor-General , the head of state under the terms of the nations constitutional monarchy, to declare the law invalid.
The push for same-sex unions with full benefits was an attempt to undermine the 2004 Federal Marriage Act that formally defined marriage as a union between a man and a women according to the Prime Minister.
The Governor-General can strike down laws passed by Australia's two territories within six months of the law's passage.

Why can't the blind people see better?
