The main purpose of this Bill is to ensure that all persons are equal before the law. The Bill will repeal the Married Woman's Property Act 1892 and amend various Acts as a consequence so that married women and women who are single or living in a de facto relationship have equal legal status. Also, discrimination against partners in certain relationships other than marital, in matters such as transfer of property, dependant spouse rebate, compensation schemes, health related legislation and inheritance will be removed. |
