Equality Australia will hold a virtual Town Hall meeting in mid-April so that LGBTIQ+ people can ask the major parties questions on issues impacting LGBTIQ+ people.

“We need the Australian Government to include LGBTQ+ children and young people on their national action plan for health – or these stats aren’t going to change over the next 10 years.”

“We should be aiming for full equality in every sphere of our lives, from school to employment, from birth certificate recognition to blood donation, and accessing services to marriage.”

Greenwich will introduce legislation protecting LGBTI students and teachers at faith-based schools if re-elected at the upcoming NSW election.

“Nobody should have to hide themselves to survive.”

“No one should be forced to choose between being legally recognised for who they are, or staying married to the person they love.”

“We are heading into a national election campaign without knowing exactly where federal Labor stands on the issue of LGBTI teachers and other staff in faith-based schools.”

Advocates say that Scott Morrison’s school funding package, which will see Catholic schools receive $4.1 billion public money over the next decade, should be linked to the removal of discrimination exemptions.

“Nearly seventy percent of Liberal voters agree that LGBTQ students and teachers need to be protected. It’s time for Prime Minister Morrison to listen to his constituents about the need for change.”

“If 2018 has taught us anything, it is that we are stronger when we work together.”
