ACT:ACT govt push for same-sex unions
The ACT government plans to introduce draft laws to the territory's assembly today
that will allow same-sex couples to have their civil union formalised by a ceremony.
The legislation is similar to that passed by the assembly in 2006, but later disallowed
by the Howard government.
Attorney-General SIMON CORBELL says the bill makes provision for same-sex couples to
declare their relationship before a celebrant.
