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”.
