  1. I loved the coverage on S.B.S, me and my partner watched it at home in Forbes – even the “gay bogan” bus bit! Some people are never happy!

  2. Oh for goodness sake people

    It’s been telecast again on S.B.S

    Be VERY grateful and stop whinging that you didn’t see your friends…how SELFISH! !

    We are blessed to be be able to celebrate our diversity without being killed by terrorism!

  3. Very under-whelming presentation. Far too much babble from the announcers, and far too little coverage and information about many of the floats, and far too little of the actual parade.

  4. When you see the commercial shown on television the night of the Mardi Gras, I say, what a crock of bullshit, Mardi Gras is irrelevant, it’s no longer about gay solidarity.

  5. If you want it live, see it live. When it was telecast live it was way too long for a tv program. I appreciated the interviews and background pieces they did on floats, organisations and individuals which provides some perspective and information you don’t get to see when you are actually there.
    But it was too condensed and too much of the parade ended up on the chopping floor – there needs to be a happy medium which this program hasn’t achieved.

  6. I watched it last night had to tune in sbs and watched it for an hour and a half because alot of my friends were in it, and thought something im going to watch and see heaps of people i know most of the stuff was skipped didnt see one person i knew very dissapointing

  7. It’s a shame they didn’t show a lot of floats. We appreciate the coverage but a lot of people would have been a little disappointed as a lot of time and effort went into it and that 5 seconds on TV would have made them smile that little bit wider.. Let’s do live coverage again next year.. Thanks all the same SBS.

    • Well said David! It’s great to see representation on mainstream TV so mainstream society can get an education And I went to uni with Patrick Aboud and I think he is sexy Ha Ha
