Marriage Equality and Police Brutality: time to speak out

Government & Organisations, News & Politics, Sexuality

Today, Australian Marriage Equality and Australians 4 Equally launched The Equality Campaign, a positive, inclusive marriage equality campaign that is sharing the stories of LGBTIA Australians and their loved ones.

The campaign aims to show that the majority of Australians do support marriage equality and want to see it achieved through a free vote in parliament.

For more information, check out their website at www.equalitycampaign.org.au

And speaking of speaking out…

Allegations of police brutality against children have risen sharply in Victoria, with at least one case involving a boy being hospitalized and another allegedly bitten multiple times by a Police dog.

Andrew Jackomos, Victorian commissioner for aboriginal children and young people, joined us to speak on the issues faced by Indigenous young people in Victoria, and what can be done to combat them.
