MEN WHO cheat on their female partners by engaging in homosexual acts
should be punished under the proposed sexual offences law, according
to Opposition Senator Sandrea Falconer.

At the same time, another parliamentarian is urging her colleagues to
block every loophole to prevent a man who undergoes a sex change from
seeking coverage under the definition of sexual intercourse in the
proposed law.
