Prime Minister Julia Gillard drew on her own relationship to defend her opposition to same-sex marriage on ABC TV last night.
昨晚ABC电台Q&A节目，吉拉德用她自己的同居关系为例，证明她反对同性婚姻的立场。
Ms Gillard is not married to her long-term partner Tim Mathieson, but says that doesn't mean they aren't in a committed relationship.
吉拉德和她男朋友已经同居很多年。
"I think you can have a relationship of love and commitment and trust and understanding that doesn't need a marriage certificate associated with it," Ms Gillard told Q&A.
"That's my life experience - so I'm speaking from that life experience."
她说：我自己的亲身经历证明，两相爱的人在一起拥有一个稳定的同居关系并不需要结婚。

"The Prime Minister is able to choose not to marry, however this choice is denied to many same-sex couples who desperately want to celebrate the traditions of marriage and have the legal protection, security and recognition that comes with marriage," he said.
吉拉德拥有选择是否结婚的权利，但是这并不能证明她拥有禁止那些迫切想要结婚的同性伴侣拥有结婚的权利。
"The Prime Minister may not want to marry herself, but most Australians value the importance of marriage greatly and as such want their gay and lesbian friends to have equal access and be treated as equal citizens by the marriage act."
Mr Greenwich said Australia is the only developed English-speaking country without a major party leader who supports marriage equality.

The AME and some clergy have also slammed an Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) video campaign that claims same-sex marriage may lead to polygamy, saying it is scaremongering.
澳洲基督教党ACL重审：同性婚姻合法化将会导致一夫多妻制。
Mr Greenwich said international experience proves there is no link between same-sex marriage and polygamy.
"This scare campaign proves the ACL has no argument left except fear. Its offensive nature will drive undecided politicians and members of the public towards supporting marriage equality," he said.
Ms Gillard is not married to long-term partner Tim Mathieson but says that doesn't mean they aren't in a committed relationship.

这是我自己的人生经历，我是根据我自己的自身经历而言的。
Ms Gillard was responding to a question about her opposition to gay marriage from Sydney plumber and Vietnam veteran Geoff Thomas.
Mr Thomas, whose son Nathan is gay, in 2010 asked Opposition Leader Tony Abbott on national TV when he would overcome his ignorance and start treating homosexuals with the respect they deserved.
Mr Thomas asked Ms Gillard on Q and A to explain how a country which prided itself on freedom, equality and tolerance could deny same-sex couples the right to marry.
He said Ms Gillard was standing side-by-side with Mr Abbott and the "extremist" Australian Christian Lobby.

But the PM stressed Labor had amended federal laws to "equalise the treatment of same-sex couples" when it came to superannuation and social security benefits.
吉拉德辩解：联邦政府已经从养老保险和社会福利补助政策上包括了同性伴侣。
Ms Gillard said it was her "deeply" held view that the long-standing cultural institution of marriage shouldn't be changed but rather "new traditions and norms" were needed for homosexuals.
吉拉德说她坚信传统的婚姻价值体系不应该被改变，同性恋需要建立新的标准和传统。
Labor MPs will be allowed a conscience vote on gay marriage when legislation is put before the Parliament.
