(South Australia) - Any two people who live together and present themselves as a couple will be covered under South Australia's proposed changes to partnership laws, state Attorney-General Michael Atkinson has said. Mr Atkinson introduced the Domestic Partners Bill to parliament today and said he expected support from the majority of MPs. The new legislation will allow same-sex couples to share property and financial affairs and take carer's leave to look after each other during periods of illness. The laws will dispense with the term "de facto'' and categorise couples as domestic partners.
