PAGEREF _Toc164677652 \h 9  What is this chapter about? As part of the Inquirys audit of federal, state and territory laws, the Inquiry has identified a range of laws which potentially discriminate against same-sex couples and families, but do not fall within the previous topic-specific chapters. The following list of legislation sets out those laws, identifies the potentially discriminatory definitions and notes some of the substantive financial and work-related provisions which rely on those terms. The laws cover a range of topics including insurance, trusts, foreign investment restrictions, investment disclosure rules, bankruptcy, licensing arrangements and diplomatic privileges, amongst others. Not all of the legislation will be to the disadvantage of same-sex couples, but it all appears to treat same-sex and opposite-sex families differently. For some of the laws in the following lists, the relevant definitions of spouse, relative, partner, de facto spouse and child clearly exclude a same-sex couple, the child of a lesbian or gay co-parent or the lesbian or gay co-parents themselves. For other laws in the list, there is no definition of the terms which describe a persons partner or child. Chapter 4 on Recognising Relationships and Chapter 5 on Recognising 鱨վ provide some guidance on why federal legislation without definitions may discriminate against same-sex couples and their children. The Inquiry has not investigated the possible interpretations of state and territory legislation without definitions. However, a number of state and territory laws are listed here to highlight them for analysis by state and territory authorities. The Inquiry notes that there may be further discriminatory laws in addition to those in this list and the lists of legislation at the end of each chapter. In particular, there may be additional federal, state and territory laws which fail to treat the children of same-sex and opposite-sex couples equally. The Inquiry therefore encourages federal, state and territory governments to conduct their own audits and remedy the remaining discrimination. What additional federal legislation may discriminate against same-sex couples and their children? The following list identifies federal laws containing definitions which appear to discriminate between same-sex and opposite-sex couples and their children. The list notes the sections of the relevant legislation which: contain the relevant definitions (where there are definitions) suggest an impact on financial or work-related benefits. This list should be read in conjunction with Chapter 4 on Recognising Relationships and Chapter 5 on Recognising 鱨վ. Those chapters will assist in the interpretation of the relevant definitions. A brief description of the financial impact of this legislation can be found in the Inquirys Research Paper.

What additional state legislation may still discriminate against same-sex couples and their children? As discussed in Chapter 4 on Recognising Relationships, all states and territories have substantially addressed the discrimination between same-sex and opposite-sex couples. However, Chapter 5 on Recognising 鱨վ notes that state and territory reforms have been less comprehensive regarding recognition of the children of same-sex couples. The focus of this Inquiry has been to audit federal laws. However, the following are some of the state laws identified in submissions to the Inquiry and as a result of the Inquirys research, which may still discriminate against same-sex couples and their children. The Inquiry emphasises that it has not investigated the various possible interpretations of these state and territory laws especially those which do not define the relevant terms. It may be that state and territory courts will interpret potentially discriminatory legislation in light of the law reforms removing discrimination against same-sex couples. However, the Inquiry notes the following laws in order to attract further investigation. The Inquiry also notes that there may be many more state and territory laws which restrict the financial and work-related entitlements available to same-sex parents and their children than those in the following list and in the topic-specific chapters. New South Wales Local Government Act 1993 (NSW) No definition of spouse.
