The Civil Partnerships Act 2008 was passed by the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Legislative Assembly in May. The Act allowed gay couples to legally register their partnerships for the first time. Since, there have been 23 registrations and two commitment ceremonies.
ACT Attorney-General Simon Corbell said that the numbers “exceeded all expectations”, which were expected to be around 15 per year.
