Images from today’s Mardi Gras Street Rally, where around 200 people marched from the Newtown Hub, down King Street, through the University of Sydney and then to Victoria Park’s Fair Day.
Speakers at the rally stressed that there was still much work to do to achieve equality for trans and LGBTQIA+ communities in Australia and around the world. They lambasted the corporatisation of Mardi Gras and demanded that the remaining detained refugees be immediately released by the Albanese Government.
The rally kicked off with a welcome to country by Aunty Rhonda Dixon-Grovenor, who left the crowd with the words, “Live beautifully”.
