Greens welcome same-sex law reform

 

Greens Senator Kerry Nettle today welcomed the news that the Rudd
government will begin the process of same-sex law reform later this
year.

 

"This is good news but The Greens believe that same-sex couples should
not face any discrimination in federal law," said Senator Nettle.

 

"The Greens will continue to push for the removal of all discrimination,
including in relation to marriage.

 

"I am waiting to see the proposed changes so that we can see just how
much discrimination the government plans to leave in place.

 

"When parliament returns, I will refer The Greens' Marriage
(Relationships Equality) Bill to a Senate committee for inquiry," said
Senator Nettle.
