The Rainbow Families Council have issued their Federal Election Statement. There are still many areas of the law that discriminate against our relationships and our children. Make time to see you local member/candidate or at least write them a letter. The points in this statement are very helpful in raising the matters that affect us all.
In April 2010, a national network of advocates, community members, researchers and service providers identified the following three priorities for reform and resources at a federal level:
• Marriage equality
• Removal of discrimination in adoption law, and
• Ensuring that federally-funded services are inclusive of children with same-sex parents and their families.
Rainbow Families Council is the Victorian community organisation representing same-sex parented children and their families. We urge all parties and independents running in the federal election to consider these issues.
