Referendum: What 'durable relationship' actually means

Who would have the responsibility of deciding what sort of durable relationships would qualify for constitutional protection? 

At present, the scope of constitutional protection for the family is restrictive, but clear: a married couple (with or without children) is included, but any non-marital relationships are not.

As voters begin to focus their minds on the referendums due to be held on March 8, debate is intensifying about what exactly the proposed constitutional amendments would mean if they are passed.

Two separate amendments will be the subject of separate ballot papers.
