 Shortly after the change of government in the 2012 state elections, and following high profile advertisements for repeal of the law by Katter's Australian Party, the centre-right LNP Government passed the "Civil Partnerships and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2012".The new law changed the name from "civil partnership" to "registered relationship" and prohibited the state from offering ceremonies for those who do register their relationship in this manner.Following the 2015 state election, which saw Labor form minority government, the Parliament passed (in December 2015) the "Relationships (Civil Partnerships) and Other Acts Amendment Act 2015", which restored state-sanctioned ceremonies for same-sex and opposite-sex couples and once more changed regulations referring to "registered relationships" with "civil partnerships".
