A new poll, commissioned by SBS and conducted by research group Essential Media, indicates 54 per cent of respondents born outside Australia agree that people of the same sex should be allowed to marry.
An online survey of more than 1,000 people was conducted last week, asking them to agree or disagree with a number of statements about same-sex marriage.
Overall, 61 per cent of respondents said people of the same sex should be allowed to marry - and the results from migrants and migrant-background respondents revealed an interesting pattern.
Of those born overseas, 54 per cent said they agreed with same-sex marriage, compared to 66 per cent of those whose parents were born overseas.
The poll has indicated that same-sex marriage won't be playing such a big role in the upcoming election.
More than half of overall respondents disagreed when asked if the issue was important to them.
