Unions as in marriage, not as in 'up the workers' :)
From ABC article a few weeks ago at the Labor conference: "But yesterday Labor stopped short of that [allowing gay marriage], agreeing to a compromise position that would see a register of same-sex relationships - the same system currently in place in Canberra - extended nation-wide". http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/08/02/2643414.htm?site=news
The Age newspaper over here had the most beautiful picture of a protest for relationship equality on the front page, and a really great write-up - I forget sometimes that it isn't necessarily all media that is evil, just The West Australian.
