Policy statement (2016) - marriage equality
AGM, October 2016.
Resolution
NSWCCL supports amending the law on marriage so that no discrimination is made between prospective spouses on the basis of their sex; in particular, so that same sex couples can be married, and that those who have same sex marriages they have entered into overseas are recognised as married in Australia.
The arguments supporting this policy position are set out in the following submissions listed below:
2013
NSW Legislative Council’s Standing Committee on Social Issues Inquiry into Same Sex Marriage Law in NSW
