The Tasmanian government has delayed discussion on the Marriage Amendment Bill which should have been debated in the Parliament's Upper House, yesterday.
The proposed amendment would remove the need for couples to divorce if one person transitions gender, which is currently the status quo with all other states and territories.
However, the Tasmanian Parliament won’t discuss changes until March next year which a prominents transgender activist says “the Government has chosen to be in breach of Commonwealth law rather than provide equality to transgender people.”
