MARRIAGE EQUALITY from FOXTEL Music Channels on Vimeo.
Foxtel has devoted airtime to the Marriage Equality survey with a Foxtel-produced ad running across its music channels.
The ad is authorised by Executive Director of Television, Brian Walsh.
This week Foxtel emails also included a footer with the company backing the Yes vote. Foxtel, SBS and TEN are all public supporters of the Equality Campaign run by AME.

Of course Foxtel are going to support it after all can you imagine the backlash if they say vote no
Very clever ad
Should also be noted that Foxtel have shown their share of Vote No advertisements, but as well as some Vote Yes ads.
Notice how none of the companies say its okay to vote no guess because its politically incorrect to say that
Gruen addressed how that’s bad business for future consumer base.

Maybe. Whilst social attitudes on a given issue might move on (and having moved forward, usually stay there) the political voting reality doesn’t change. #VoteYes
Probably because it’s not ok to vote no
????✊️???

Are you sure it’s not because there is no coherent, rational, or reasonable case for the negative?
There are two principals in play. Firstly, are all adults equal before the law; and secondly should an adults be able to consenually marry another adult they love? This isn’t about political correctness, it’s about equality. #VoteYes
There are actually plenty of good reasons to vote no but people advocating the yes vote are so blinkered and ignorant they don’t want to inform themselves.
Yep, so blinkered and ignorant that most intelligent people don’t want to be hear ridiculous notions about marring dogs or Nazi mind control
Well done Foxtel
I have not heard or read a single cogent reason for voting no, let alone a “good” one.
It won’t be compulsory for you to marry someone of the same sex, churches won’t have to change their doctrine, it has nothing to do with marrying animals or inanimate objects. It is simply about giving all people the right to marry someone whom they love.
People raised the same crazy unfounded objections when it was proposed to allow women to vote and yet somehow the sky didn’t fall in. Plenty of countries have legalised same-sex marriage with no problems whatsoever.
What are you afraid of?
Pip – since you’ve made that comment please inform this blinkered and ignorant person why two consenting adults should not be allowed to marry each other? You should be able to back up your assertion. And specifically, how will it affect your life?
Not surprising. I’ve noticed in my Facebook feed, Foxtel’s posts incorporating the rainbow flag in their logo. A positive development for an outlet half owned by Rupert.
Yep, positive, as long as you don’t like having it shoved down your throat at every turn…
Blame the Government for that one.. they could have had this issue done and dusted months (if not years) ago! Well done Foxtel!
