343 - The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands

In 2004, the Australian Government passed an amendment specifying that marriage was be defined as a "union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others". In protest to this, a group set up the Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands! This episode is about the Kingdom and Australia's Marriage Law Postal Survey.
