The survey closes on November 7, with results to be published eight days later on the Australia Bureau of Statistics’ website.

The event is expected to attract about 20 volunteers with similar events to be held in other locations.

Coalition for Marriage spokesman Monica Doumit said the volunteers were encouraging people to vote no to marriage equality.

“Millions of Australians are still yet to vote on the future of marriage and the Coalition for Marriage will continue to fight for every last vote,” she said.

“We are finding that more and more Australians are coming to understand that saying ‘yes’ to gay marriage means saying ‘yes’ to radical gay sex and gender programs in schools, and saying ‘no’ to freedom of speech and freedom of faith.

“Tomorrow a group of our local volunteers in Templestowe will door knock the area to talk about the consequences of a change in the Marriage Act, encouraging them to vote ‘no’ and to return their ballots as soon as possible.”

Equality Campaign director Tiernan Brady said last week: “(The high turnout) shows Australians clearly want this issue to be dealt with as quickly as possible. We hope that a strong yes result will encourage Parliament to ensure marriage equality is a reality in Australia by Christmas.”
