Queensland Attorney-General and Minister For Justice Yvette D’Ath shared to parliament the story of the first same sex couple to marry in Australia.
Sunshine Coast couple, Jo Grant and Jill Kindt were married on December the 15th 2017, 8 days after the legislation legalising same sex marriage passed in Federal parliament.
Queensland’s Department of Births, Deaths and Marriages fast tracked the application process, which usually takes at least a month, for the couple due to Mrs Grant’s terminal illness, which sadly ended her life on the 30th of January this year.
