In the days following his husband’s death, Bulmer-Rizzi was told that the State of South Australia does not recognise same-sex marriages from abroad and, as a result, David’s death certificate would record him as being “never married”.

The pair lived together in Sunderland and were married in London in June of last year. Same-sex marriage is not legal in Australia and while some states recognise marriages that have been conducted abroad, others including South Australia do not.
