Well, it's only civil partnership recognition, but still very welcome. Now Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland and the ACT all recognise that non-het couples are equal, making up about 11/23 million Australians. But marriage (and civil unions) remain a federal power, and so whilst it's good that the states are making progress, and even surprising that Queensland is in the first half, it is still a long way from where we need to be.
