Category Editor Clarification: while the ACT has passed a law allowing same-sex couples to recognize their relationships in a legally-binding civil partnership ceremony, and the Commonwealth (Australia’s federal government) has agreed to accept that legislation, this one can't rightly settle as 'Yes' unless/until there's some sort of commonwealth legislation; anything else will settle as 'No'.
