Alex White (Labour)

I move amendment No. 20:

In page 29, subsection (1), between lines 38 and 39, to insert the following:

"(b) The applicants are a couple of the same sex over 21 years of age who can demonstrate that they have been living together within the jurisdiction for not less than two years and who have demonstrated to the appropriate authorities under this legislation that they are fit persons to adopt.".

This is Senator Norris's amendment.
