Is this obscurantism, or is it just a reflection of the fact that our rules about domestic partnership, in the age of widespread de facto cohabitation, are pretty arcane and ambiguous (as perhaps they must be)?
If you have sex once with your housemate, are you partners? If you and your housemate sleep with each other casually but don't consider each other boyfriend/girlfriend, are you partners? I'm guessing for these purposes, the issues relate to things like nepotism and special treatment, and there may indeed be some things to look at there if Joyce and Campion were already in a sexual relationship when she left his office (which one tends to presume is the case, given the timeline). I expect it's a breach of a code of conduct to employ your partner in your office; but what if they already have the job before you get together? And, again, who decides at what point someone you have sex with becomes your partner?
If we're talking about the law, then the law needs to be clear about what it's referring to. 'Partner', therefore, probably means what 'de facto partner' means under law: someone you've cohabited with and had a sexual relationship with for a year. I hope that any other intended meaning is clarified; if not, perhaps it's about time that it should be. | Social security are busting a lot of single mothers who have a man in their lives. I am sure they can't use the "I'm only bonking him" as defence. Twp sets of rules. |

If they live together, they're partners.
if you live with your spouse but are rooting someone else on the side, the latter person isn't your partner. Two people in an exclusive relationship who don't live together, can claim to be in a relationship but as they don't cohabit I don't believe they'd meet the criteria.
On David's example, 2 house mates who maintain separate rooms, live separate lives but are occasional F buddies, that get's Gray.

It's just a Bananarby Wannabe Analogy? |

Speaking of which, the Greens are frigging round with that again. If they block things in the senate I hope Vic and NSW go ahead and pull out of the arrangement and tell the Greens to go sit on a cactus _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Whatever did the poor cactus do to deserve that fate, Stui? |

You just have to wait and Bananarby knowing he will put his foot in his mouth. He’s come out in Parliament and explained about his accommodation. He said he wasn’t and MP. It was offered free to help him and get this, “to get back on my feet”. Lmao
This totally contradicts his "friends" Greg Maguire's version that "Joyce rang him asking for a place to stay because he knows he owns a lot of residential buildings". I am waiting for a call of "Misleading Parliament" to be the next headline. |

The Rinehart 'award' he received a few months ago was dodgy and this is no less so. I find it astounding that any politician could think this is all fine – but then, we do live in a country with political donations. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Are you saying Greg slipped on a Bananarby spiel? |
