(why isn’t wordpress letting me post links. argh!)
the 100 pieces of legislation descriminating against the gays looks set to be amended next month.
this is exciting because 1. superannuation can go to your partner automatically. especially important in situations where the extended family of the deceased didn’t support/was in the dark/ etc about the relationship their family member was part of.
2. social security rulings will be cleared up. no more ridiculous red tape and being treated as single when that’s not the case. in our situation that will mean we lose the single parent childcare rebate and single parent (part) payment. as we should. how stupid that my income is not taking into account.
3. taxation laws will change so that a same sex partner can be classified as a dependent.
a whole bunch of other stuff. they’re the three that i’ve been thinking about lately.
