(Australia) - Attorney-General Robert McClelland hopes to reach a consensus with the Liberal Opposition on removing discrimination against Gays and Lesbians from all commonwealth legislation. And he will meet his ACT counterpart, Simon Corbell, tomorrow to discuss the Gay civil union laws being promised by the ACT Government, and will ask the territory for co-operation in developing a national standard on civil partnerships. Mr McClelland said he wanted to reach a bipartisan position on removing all discrimination against Gays, after Liberal leader Brendan Nelson indicated he wished to change his party's position on the issue.
