Courier-Mail publishes my comments

Monday, July 09, 2012

Last week I was interviewed by Brisbane’s Sunday Mail for an article about a gay couple who had had twins through surrogacy, which would be an offence under the Queensland Government proposals.

I mentioned to the journalist as to my concerns about the proposed Queensland laws would fail the Sex Discrimination Act, and that they were therefore in my opinion futile. She was interested in that issue, and next thing I know it was today’s lead article on page 3 of the Courier:
