Bad

Changes (in Clause 1(1) only the word "Marriage" to "Union". No other changes seem to be linked to this and "Marriage" remains throughout the rest of the document.

This is Amendment 1 in .

Commentary: 

The lack of a complete overhaul from "Marriage" to "Union" confuses me on this one. It's generally just an attack on the idea of marriages between same sex couples "marriage" so it's a bad 'un.

Amendment:
