Aussie LGBT relationships are not equal without marriage (video)

Partner of 21yrs reduced to "Informant" at bottom of death certificate

The line bandied about that LGBT Australian couples already have the same rights as married straight couples in Australia is a lie. There's a huge amount of paperwork to do just about anything, and questions over who goes on a death certificate or Superannuation payout remain. LGBT are required to prove their relationship every step of the way, whereas straight married couples simply have the wedding certificate to do so.

Would straight couples like to have to prove their relationship with their partner after they'd died? That's the position we're in in Australia today.
