Human Rights Commission hoisted with its own petard

In the recent Australian Marriage Law Survey, Australians were asked the following question: ‘Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?’

Who would have predicted that one reaction of the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) to the survey result would be an explicit acknowledgment that in multicultural Australia there is a human right to hold and freely express opposition to same-sex marriage?

The survey result presented the AHRC with a problem of its own making.
