MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
It’s a question many wanted answered by the ABC’s new show What the FAQ, says Kirsten Drysdale, a journalist at the public broadcaster.
She submitted his given name to New South Wales Births, Deaths and Marriages as “Methamphetamine Rules”.
They said they had strengthened the registry’s process in response to this “highly unusual event”, and would be working with the family to change the name.
She had reached out to the registry for answers to her show’s segment on what names can be legally given to a baby in Australia which will air on Wednesday.
The spokesperson for NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages said it “does not choose what name parents give a child”.
It also will not approve given names that are more than 50 characters, include symbols, or an official title or rank such as princess, Queen, or goddess.
