    Landmark court ruling on public housing rights for same-sex couples / Resumption of multi-entry permits for Shenzhen residents

    On Monday’s Backchat, we look at a landmark ruling affirming subsidised housing benefits and inheritance rights for same-sex couples.

    Last week, the Court of Final Appeal unanimously dismissed appeals from the Housing Authority (HA) seeking to overturn two previous court rulings in favour of such rights for same-sex couples.
    The top court agreed with previous rulings that found existing HA policies discriminatory and unconstitutional. Whilst the LGBTQ community generally welcomed the ruling, some lawmakers are worried that this could put a strain on the city’s limited housing resources.
    What’s your view? Can the public housing system cope with a potential influx of applications or are fears overblown?
    After 9:45, we’ll be talking about the resumption of multi-entry permits for Mainland visitors residing in Shenzhen.
