WHEN WILL QUEENSLAND SET UP A RELATIONSHIPS REGISTER?
With the recent announcement that the NSW Government will soon introduce legislation to create a Relationships Register making it easier for committed unmarried
couples to access legal entitlements and prove they are in committed or de facto relationships, the Queensland President of the Gay and Lesbian Immigration Task
Force, Gaby Sitzmann, has called on the Premier Anna Bligh to implement similar legislative reform in Queensland as soon as possible.

NSW GOVERNMENT TO SET UP RELATIONSHIPS REGISTER
The NSW Government today announced it will introduce legislation to create a Relationships Register making it easier for committed unmarried couples to access
legal entitlements and prove they are in committed or de facto relationships.
Attorney General, John Hatzistergos, said the NSW Register will be modelled on key aspects of registers already in place in the ACT, Victoria and Tasmania.

YOU NEED TO BECOME A LOBBYIST!!!
GLITF started as a political organisation and has contributed greatly to the freedoms we enjoy today in migration. It is time for you to start lobbying the Queensland
State Government to start registering same-sex relationships!!
In the states that recognise same sex relationships (Tasmania, Victoria and ACT) they are registered through the department recording Birth, Deaths and Marriages.
Registration of relationships replaces the 12 months living together requirements to obtain a Temporary Residence Visa. (The applicants with a registered relationship
still need to prove that they are in a genuine and continuing relationship that is exclusive of all others.)
How do you lobby? .... All information here!
