507  Marital or relationship status
 (1) The Sex Discrimination Act 1984, to the extent that it applies to the status or condition of being the spouse or de facto partner of another person, does not operate in relation to:

 (i) the nature and incidents of the relationship between a person and another person; or
 (ii) the period for which a relationship of a specified kind must have existed between a person and another person;
  before the person is taken to be the de facto partner of the other person; or
 (b) the performance of any function, the exercise of any power or the fulfilment of any responsibility, in connection with the administration of any such regulation.
