Throughout this process, the Department has endeavoured to change as many as possible. The consolidated Act is under review constantly to ensure the legislative references are correct. Since I came into the House, I and many Deputies have been finding references that were not up to date. However, through a review mechanism, the Government will rectify anything that is discovered. A huge body of work has been undertaken by civil servants in respect of the Marriage Act in an endeavour to rectify everything possible. I certainly am not stating nothing will be found but if it is, it will be rectified as discovered as soon as practicable.
