Hulls Lauches the State Relationships Register
Source: Victoria. Attorney General. Media Release
"Unmarried heterosexual and same-sex domestic partners can register their relationship from today (28/11/08) under the Brumby Government’s Relationships Register. Deputy Premier and Attorney-General Rob Hulls said the register provided couples who did not want to marry or who were unable to do so with formal recognition of their committed relationship.“This is a significant day for some of the couples who wish to register their relationship, providing them with the chance to formally acknowledge their committed relationship and know that decision is respected in Victoria,” he said. This will make it easier for couples to access their rights under Victorian law and provide certainty to their legal obligations, without having to argue repeatedly that they are in a committed partnership or to have to prove this in court.”
