Well perhaps you can take that up with the United Nations, who have Marriage listed as a basic Human right in their declaration of human rights (Australia was also one of eight nations involved in drafting the Universal Declaration)
That's irrelevant, The fact is the Australian Government uses a Gender test, test which marriages it recognises, and which it doesn't.
That alone is discrimination based on gender.
eg. The government lets Jane Marry Peter, because she is a female, But won't let Andrew marry peter, because Andrew is a Male, that's gender discrimination.
--------------------------------
But any way, the fact is same sex marriages exist regardless of whether the government recognises them, But the fact that the government refuses to recognise them, means that they are discriminating against people based on sexuality and gender, which is against peoples human rights.
But if they do recognise them, they are discriminating against normal healthy minded people.
