Former prime minister Tony Abbott's sister Christine Forster has accused same-sex marriage opponents of scaremongering as a string of high-profile Yes campaigners staged rallies across the country to urge supporters to remember to return their survey forms.
Sports stars, TV identities and politicians of all stripes took part in coordinated events across capital cities as part of the #PostYourYes campaign on Sunday.
Speaking at the Sydney launch, Ms Forster, a Liberal councillor, accused the No campaign of trying to confuse voters.
"The No campaign is trying to muddy the waters with issues that are not related," she said.
"This is a simple question of whether or not you believe the law in Australia should be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry. That is as far as it goes."
Her comments came a day after Senator Corey Bernardi told an audience of 1000 people gathered for the No campaign launch in Sydney they would face "weaponised" anti-discrimination laws and "legal warfare" is the marriage act was changed.
Ms Forster later took to Twitter to condemn her brother, who is advocating a No vote, for claiming protections for religious freedom should have been put in place before the survey was launched.
