Yes it is now following changes to the marriage act in 2017. It's worth remembering that same sex marriage was not illegal in Australia up until 2004 when the then government changed the existing 1961 marriage act. Up until 2004 marriage was defined as being between two people. The change in 2004 defined marriage as being between a man and a woman.

I give already!

Sorry no spoilers.

You never know, there could be some turmoil before the party.

Nice catch @Lynx003, you know me too well.

I thought you would like the Arnie and Ben scene @Ticklishboy30.

I have to admit @Summerabbacat that I like Rick. As his father is an Earl he would have mixed in social circles that could easily have included the two Dames. Who knows? Now you know how Adelaide Psychologist, Nathan, came to be working in an Inner Western Sydney Clinic as a therapist for two brothers. The party? You'll need to wait and see.

Martin and Nathan were woken by Justin telling them that he was dropping Benjamin at school and then heading to the university. Martin, in parent mode, checked that they had had breakfast and was then awake enough to remember that Justin hardly had any university scheduled for Mondays. "Why are you going to the university his morning Justin? You have something like one lecture this afternoon." "That's true dad but I'm meeting with a group of friends who are planning a sort of project we can

Oh I have enjoyed many a meal in country town Greek restaurants. Ah memories. Shame @Mark Ponyboy Peters, you left banana split out of the offerings. News, rumour and truth travel quickly in a Central School, especially amongst students who have been together for 9 years. I hope studying Lord of the Flies is not a prediction of Levi's school experience. It seems the shadow of the Thompson family is still present.

‘Thompsonville’s got its own way of doing things. You’ll get used to it. Slowly.’ One of them – tall, lean, with sun-bleached, blond hair that fell just past his collar – suddenly stopped running. He caught the ball with his hands and stood completely still, holding it against his hip as he stared directly at Levi. Levi is having thoughts about surfer boy but it's obvious that surfer boy is very interested in Levi, to the extent that his mates would have noticed. I hope surfer boy is also in Year 9 and they share classes. He will do well to heed Matt's advice (above). Levi's body is responding but it will take time for him to overcome his psychological conditioning and for him to mentally catch up with his emotions. What will help is that he is surrounded by adults who are not only supportive but more importantly excellent role models.

Charles is leaving himself very vulnerable if he wears the ring.

Don't worry you'll be down the rabbit hole soon enough.

Simon will give the family good legal advice and knows to call in other lawyers when necessary.
