    Based on your figures it would appear that only 20% of celebrants answered the 2016 survey which gives an indication of the level of dissatisfaction amongst celebrants and is certainly a wake up that should be taken to the Ag's Dept. Surely now more than ever is a clear picture of why the celebrant registration fee should be abolished and a Marriage Licence Fee adopted like almost every other western country, which based on a fee of $100.00 x by the number of annual wedding ceremonies would be more financially rewarding than slugging celebrants who have declared they are not making a viable return for their investment, plus it is time a ceiling cap was placed on the numbers as was in place in the early 2000's. Let's have some initiative about the current ill conceived situation as the number of celebrants I speak to Australia wide are not happy and if unhappiness is the feeling nation wide the system is broken and needs an injection of clearly defined corrective measures now.
