Social Justice Report 2003: SUMMARY SHEET TWO: GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY FOR RECONCILIATION
During 2003, the government's approach to reconciliation has continued to be restricted to measures that fall within its 'practical' reconciliation approach.

The report establishes that progress in advancing 'practical' reconciliation over the… -

The AMF advertisement argued that same-sex couples should not be able to marry under the law, because children "wherever possible" need a mother and a father. It is hardly a new or ground-breaking… -
