to quote Russell Crowe

God Defend NewZealand; spoken at the Oscars a couple of years ago when he won some gong.

Well, I must agree.

Stu and I are (at some point in the not too distant future) eloping to NZ and getting civil union'd.

Can't do that here....

And NZ don't require us to get a Certificate of No Impediment from our dear old government here; i wrote some months ago about the Attorney-General refusing to issue such certificates for the purposes of overseas same sex civil unions - on the grounds that such a union is not recognised under Australian law.


Thank you New Zealand, but more importantly, Thanks Stu for saying "Yes". I love you very much!
