Family

. Marriage: Homosexual activists are seeking to achieve the same rights and privileges as married couples by having homosexual relationships specifically acknowledged in federal law. In the latest attempt at this, the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission has recommended that the definition of de facto marriage be extended to include homosexual relationships and that the definition of parenthood be made gender neutral. In the interests of preserving the definition of marriage, would your Party reject these attempts by HREOC and instead redress any unreasonable discrimination through amendments to specific laws?

Family: Family breakdown causes untold personal suffering for both adults and children as well as contributing to wider social problems. This was recently recognised in the UK’s Breakthrough Britain report, which recommends a range of policies to support and incentivise marriage. What actions would your Party take to support and favour marriage and to strengthen the family unit?

Overseas adoption: Will you endeavour to strengthen the ban on the adoption of overseas children by same sex couples, recognising that: a) It is in the best interests of the child to have a father and a mother; b) That many countries from which Australian couples adopt children (such as China and South Korea) do not allow homosexual couples to adopt and may reconsider their participation in Australia’s overseas adoption program if Australia’s laws change.

Sex discrimination: At the moment, children are being disadvantaged because single women have equal rights to IVF, adoption and surrogacy, owing to a challenge to the Federal Sex Discrimination Act, which suspended the relevant State laws. Would your Party support an amendment to the Federal Sex Discrimination Act, or support the passage of another law that covers the field, so that the rights of children to a father and a mother are held above the desire of adults for children.
