Luckily they're proposing an "opt out" mechanism, whereby you simply take your girlfriend down to a solicitors office, you both have to have the law explained to you so you're sure you understand what rights you're giving up. Then you both have to sign and date a document agreeing to give up those rights, with witnesses and accompanied by a certificate by a qualified practitioner. SIMPLE!

Simple, my arse. They'll do with that opt-out exactly what courts do with pre-nups. All little miss snowflake has to do is tell the crown that her partner was physically abusive during their relationship and that she was made to sign that certificate under duress. Voilà! You get the screws put to you but good.
