Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 10 Hansard (25 September) . . Page.. 3435 ..

Consequential amendments to the Wills Act will prevent a person from losing entitlements to a deceased estate simply because of a change of gender.

This Bill will bring the ACT law on registration of births, deaths and marriages up to date and into conformity with the model agreed to by all States and Territories. It will also allow full legal recognition of gender reassignment.

I commend the Bill to the Assembly.
