Pike calls it quits
Victorian Labor MP Bronwyn Pike has announced her retirement from politics.
The former health and education minister made the annoucement this afternoon.
Pike – who holds the seat of Melbourne – has been a strong supporter of LGBTI issues during her time in parliament.
A strong advocate of same-sex marriage, Pike also helped secure funding for anti-bullying initiative the Safe Schools Coalition Victoria and Gay and Lesbian Health Victoria.
Support the Star Observer… while you still can
LGBTQIA+ media is under threat. Queer content is censored by tech conglomerates who amplify bigotry and push out AI slop — so we receive less financial support than ever.
When our community is muzzled and intolerance intensifies, we need queer media more than ever. Your donation means we can continue paying queer journalists to write queer news.
Don’t rely on the straight lies of big tech – support Star Observer instead and donate now.





Bye, Bye Bronnie! Good riddance! Cannot Ever Forget the ‘fake’ female tears when you thought you were going to lose to the Greens! Labor has used and abused the GLTBI community. I will never forget that! Look at the hideous PM we have!
Pike has led a stella career and moved mountains within the Labor ranks. An extrodinary Civil Rights campaigner, Pike has moved many obstancles blocking the Great Yellow Brick Road of Equality.
