Basically these changes give no additional rights and do nothing for the public but what they do is take away rights. Interesting the phrase "durable relationships" which they want to insert are not even defined and can and will be interpreteted by the courts

So why did the government rush the legislation through blocking any proper debate and scrutiny. They are not known for doing things for our benefits but for the corporate sponsors

This rule also has massive implications to inheritance and who in a "durable" relationship is now entitled to inheritance

Michael M Dowell -former attorney general has created the Lawyers for No campaign too

And the results are the referendum was defeated with 67% voting No

The turnout was relatively high for a referendum at 44.4 %

The only areas with a strong Yes vote were all the middle class woke constituencies which just goes to prove the point that the middle class are the most propagandized group of people. Everywhere else it was firmly rejected as people saw the ruse for what it was.
