Australia's New PM: No Marriage For Gays

Australia's new prime minister Julia Gillard says she's against same-sex marriage.

Labor policy on gay marriage will remain the same under her prime ministership, Ms Gillard told Austereo show today. "We believe the marriage act is appropriate in its current form, that is recognising that marriage is between a man and a woman, but we have as a government taken steps to equalise treatment for gay couples," Ms Gillard said. Asked if that was also her personal view, Ms Gillard said it was.

Gillard, 49, has never married.
