Australia: Rudd to Break Campaign Promise Again, Overturn ACT Civil Unions

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

KEVIN Rudd will move to overturn legislation passed by the ACT government allowing gay couples to hold public, legally binding ceremonies as they form civil unions.

In the latest run-in between the commonwealth and the ACT’s Labor government on the divisive issue, Chief Minister Jon Stanhope said Attorney-General Robert McClelland had indicated during a recent meeting that the Rudd government would quash the amended legislation.

“They are prepared to intervene to overturn the recent amendments to the civil union legislation in the ACT,” Mr Stanhope said of his Monday meeting with Mr McClelland. “I indicated bluntly that this was unacceptable.”

New Gay Marriage Attempt in Australia's ACT

Monday, September 21st, 2009

A fresh attempt to legalise gay marriage in the ACT is set to test federal Labor’s tolerance on same-sex issues.

The ACT Legislative Assembly is set to pass laws which will allow for legally-binding “civil union” ceremonies for same-sex couples.

The ACT Greens have draft laws on the table which would allow the ceremonies to take place.
