Qld Govt extends time for responses to surrogacy, lesbian parenting reviews

The Queensland Government has extended the times for submissions to its reviews on surrogacy and lesbian parenting to 30 September.

The Government had originally set dates of last Friday, 18 September, for both:

• its proposal to legalise altruistic surrogacy in Queensland, to include same sex couples;
• its proposal for lesbian co-parents to be recognised on birth certificates when a sperm donation has been used, including IVF.
