celebrating the Equality Bill passing
The council passed Labor Cr Arkin’s motion to congratulate Alex Greenwich MP for his tireless work in developing and passing the Equality Bill in the NSW Parliament, marking a major milestone for LGBTIQA+ rights, including reforms like legal gender identity on government documents and better protections for queer families and individuals. They also want to thank the NSW Labor Government, particularly Penny Sharpe MLC, for their vital support, as well as Felicity Wilson MP for her bravery in voting for the Bill. Going forward, we remain committed to further reform, including protections for queer teachers, students, and sex workers in the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act, and will continue to support the LGBTIQA+ community in every way we can.
