Saturday, 12th April, 2025:  Homophobia-Federal Election 2025: Bigots Targeting Labor MP Julian Hill

Macca, Nevena and Richard discuss homophobic fringes and bigotry in this year’s federal election.

Police have removed two offensive and homophobic banners targeting Labor MP Julian Hill that were hung over a major Melbourne highway, last Friday morning.

“The ad, which contained a rainbow flag, did not appear to include an official campaign endorsement, which would reveal who was behind the message. The banner was also attached to public property.

Another sign said: “LGBTQ+ means more to Julian Hill than you the people.”

Hill is a gay man who is in a relationship but does not have a husband. He said whoever had displayed the signs had resorted to “these sorts of smears as they’ve got nothing positive to say”.
