> Last night the Government rammed through its minor amendments to Labor civil union law.  Whilst it will be renamed a ‘register’ and no longer recognise homosexual union ceremonies, the law still gives formal state recognition to homosexual unions. 
>  
> 
> Shane Knuth of Katter’s Australian Party tabled amendments to repeal all provisions for recognising homosexual unions.  The amendments were voted down, and he received jeers from certain LNP MPs.  LNP’s Dr Mark Robinson MP (Dep. Speaker during debate) used time during gov. business to defend marriage in a speech yesterday.
