Well, they're a protected class, not really equal. Lots of protected classes here in the states... being a white male or asian is becoming a bit Harrison Bergeron-like.uziq wrote:

Plus tax breaks for gays are a tax burden on me.
Centrelink doesn't deal with tax, nor tax breaks. They hand out support payments. And anyway a couple will get less total payments then 2 individuals as the cost of living is not linear with household occupants.Cybargs wrote:
