So @Barnaby_Joyce attacks @AlboMP for marching in the Mardi Gras and compares it to the time Albo spent in Alice Springs. This is a cover for homophobia and his 19th century mind set that unfortunately dominates in the National Party and big sections of the Liberal Party!

.@AlboMP Why are you marching in the Mardi Gras but refused to march with our Diggers on Anzac Day? At least now we know where your priorities lay. 😥

Tonight Lord Mayor Clover Moore presented the 78ers with a key to the city of Sydney. As we mark 45 years since the first Sydney Mardi Gras, it’s important we remember how our movement began: with a brave group of pioneers that took to the streets to demand pride and equality. https://t.co/3Au8EOBnki

I'm very 🤷‍♂️ about a PM marching in Mardi Gras unless it provokes this kind of response. https://t.co/9mIDA3EBH4

Barnaby Joyce has blasted Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for treating Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade as "more important" than the crime crisis in Alice Springs. https://t.co/Bzk0njYcMe

Change takes time – too much time – but 45 years after the first Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, our most iconic building is proudly adorned in the colours of progress and pride. As @SydWorldPride kicks off I’m so proud of Sydney and how far we’ve come. Happy Pride. https://t.co/D0LAm8y2PV
