This Wednesday 28th of September Julia Gillard will be attending a lunch at the Park Hyatt . Equal Love and the Refugee Action Collective have joined forces to protest against Julia Gillard’s discriminatory continuation on the ban on marriage equality and her party’s treatment towards refugees.
With the ALP National conference only three months away, Equal Love call on all supporters of marriage equality to join us on this spring morning to maintain the pressure for marriage equality.
Equal Love Convener Ali Hogg states:
“With the recent motion in Tasmania supporting marriage equality, It’s super important to maintain the growing pressure on Gillard and others in the ALP, so we’re inviting all supporters to come out and show their support for equal rights. The majority of Australians support marriage equality and it’s about time the ALP took a stand on this issue and got rid of discrimination.”
Equal Love are very excited to have Carl Katter, brother of renowned homophobe Bob Katter, coming out to throw his support behind the campaign for marriage equality.
“It’s so fantastic that Carl Katter is speaking at the rally. I think he has proven to be an inspiration to many, having the bravery to come out publicly in the face of conservative brother , MP and head of the Australian Party, Bob Katter, who says the idea of same-sex marriage deserved to be ridiculed” Hogg concluded.
In response to speaking at the rally tomorrow Carl Katter states:
“I am the first to acknowledge the hard work the Labour Party has done in regards to Human Rights...but you can't progress half way...we either have equality or we don't. Marriage equality has to happen so that the hard work they have done is not diminished simply because they are pandering to the christian right!” Katter said.
GILLARD RALLY DETAILS: 11:30 am, Wed September 28 at Park Hyatt Hotel (1 Parliament Square), Melbourne.
NATIONAL CONFERENCE RALLY DETAILS: 12pm, Saturday December 3 at Hyde Park North (Sydney, NSW)
