One place we can go is to find out, as the Deputy said, about the 36-month rule. If it can be removed, we will recommend that it be removed.
Looking at the Department's response, it claims that the 36-month rule was introduced because if it was not, it could potentially give rise to unequal treatment of opposite-sex couples. Will Mr. Moran give his response to that? Where does he think the Department is coming from on that?
