Canberra could become the gay wedding capital of mainland Australia if the ACT Government follows the lead of Tasmania and attempts to legalise gay marriage.
Tasmania’s Labor Premier, Lara Giddings, announced at the weekend that her government would introduce a bill to introduce same-sex marriage on the island state.
Deputy Chief Minister Andrew Barr and Attorney-General Simon Corbell indicated yesterday that the ACT government would consider following suit if Ms Giddings’ bill was approved by the Tasmanian Parliament and survived a High Court challenge.
