Tony Abbott's daughter, Frances Abbott, has taken to social media to announce she will be campaigning for same-sex marriage ahead of Australia's postal survey on the issue. 

Ms Abbott, one of three daughters of former Prime Minister and avowed 'No' campaigner Tony Abbott and his wife Margie, used her Instagram page to make the announcement on Friday when she appeared in a white t-shirt with the words 'vote yes' written on the front.

"I don't really care much for politics," Ms Abbott wrote.

"But I do really care a lot for love. All love is good. Let's celebrate it."

The post was then followed with the hashtags #voteyes #yesyesyes #postalvote #getaroundit #marriageequality.
