The word ‘parent’ is not used anywhere. It is not used in our descriptor of the other party to a de facto relationship, whether it is opposite sex or same sex; it is not used in our descriptor of the infertile husband in a marriage; and it is not used in the existing section 60H(1) which this replaces. That is why I said before that this is something of a false issue.
