MELBOURNE: Victorian Australian Marriage Equality convenor and recent Fitzroy ALP branch recruit Carl Katter claims the Baillieu Government’s amending of the Victorian Equal Opportunity Act allowing faith based organisations to discriminate on the grounds of sexuality and gender difference and its recently announced intention to remove historic gay sex convictions points to an inconsistency of support for LGBT issues.

Labor MLC for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford used the adjournment debate in the Upper House on November 28 to criticise the non-appearance of State Government’s LGBTI Health Ministerial Advisory Committee.
