               A person (the partner) who is the spouse or de facto partner of an applicant for
               approval as a family sponsor in relation to the parent sponsor class meets the
               partner requirements if:
                 (a) the partner is not a parent sponsor; and
                (b) in the case where the partner has previously been a parent sponsor—either:
                       (i) the partner has not failed to satisfy a sponsorship obligation under
                           Subdivision 2.19.2 (which deals with the sponsorship obligations of
                           approved family sponsors etc.); or
                      (ii) it is reasonable to disregard any such failure.
