So the federal government is surging ahead with removing discrimination against same sex couples.
That's great.
(Wistfully) Although I am going to miss my single parents' pension...
*Note: we have been very active in lobbying for this; we met the federal sex discrimination commissioner last week and tomorrow Lovergirl is off to meet with the Qld Minister for Children and Young People, about state-based discrimination. So I've been putting my little ole pension on the line for some time.
**Note 2: One of the people in our lobby group is a relative of someone high up in the new Labor government. I reckon that's had more impact than all our boring petitions and long-winded meetings.
Happy New Year!

A very happy New Year to you and your families, however you define them! We
are heading into a year that will challenge the LGBTQ community like no
other...

Yep, I know what you mean. We'll miss ours too but it's all for the greater good and long term it's a very good thing.
Good for you working on the QLD government!
ps our blog entry is not about your comments!
Is the pension definitely a goner?
The petitions matter.
