The Australian Christian Lobby wants anti-discrimination laws changed to allow for free speech during the same sex marriage debate.
The leading advocates for a "no" vote on same-sex marriage are pushing the federal government to "override" anti-discrimination laws during the upcoming plebiscite campaign.
The Australian Christian Lobby are calling for the temporary change to ensure the "no" camp can speak freely during the debate to legalise same-sex marriage.
ACL managing director Lyle Shelton told Fairfax Media his organisation was very concerned about fairness during the campaign as state anti-discrimination laws in particular have "such a low threshold".
The Turnbull government has been consulting with the "yes" and "no" camps on how the plebiscite will work, and Attorney-General George Brandis said there had been a "great deal of stakeholder consultation" on the plebiscite and that he would take a submission to cabinet "in coming months".
There is no date set yet for the plebiscite, which is due after the federal election.
