"Excerpt: The Supplementary Order Paper also addresses a number of
technical issues that arose during the select committee process,
including delaying the commencement of the Bill by six months, to
ensure that the Bill's provisions can be implemented in the most
effective manner. I also intend to move a second Supplementary Order
Paper at the committee stage to address a technical issue that has
arisen from a recent Family Court decision declaring, under the Act's
current provisions, that an overseas-born transgender applicant's
birth certificates should be changed to show the applicant's nominated
sex."
