Prime Minister John Howard said that despite a new opinion poll showing 71% of Australians favouring equal rights for gay people, he is still opposed.

"We are not in favour of discrimination, but of course our views on the nature of marriage in our community are very well known and they won't be changing," Mr Howard said in an interview with Sky television.
