Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — On the 16th of February, I had the privilege of attending the Rainbow Labor NSW stall at the Mardi Gras Fair Day. Fair Day showcased a number of Australian queer performers, promoting up and coming LGBTQI+ artists who are reshaping the Australian music landscape. The celebration of the LGBTQI+ community, and of artists from the LGBTQI+ community, is such an important step in advocating for full equality before the law, and events like these play such a crucial part in achieving that. Fair Day was a fantastic success, with tens of thousands of people from all across not only Sydney, but New South Wales, Australia, and globally, coming together to celebrate the how our diversity strengthens and enhances our community. I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy Mardi Gra, and to congratulate the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras organisers and all of the Mardi Gras volunteers on what I'm sure will be a fantastic event!
