Civil Registration Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
4:00 pm
Mary Henry (Independent)
I support Senator Hayes' comments. It is extraordinarily important for the child that everything possible is done to ensure the father's name is registered at birth. A distinction exists between the registration of marital births and non-marital births and so a difficulty arises from the moment of registration.
