Government & Organisations, Kids & Family, National, News & Politics, Non-Profit, Sexuality, Society & Culture

Rainbow Families visits Canberra to show that there is a human side to the plebiscite debate – families, children and partners who will witness the damaging effects of a no campaign in the marriage equality debate. We talk with Felicity Marlowe, co convenor of Rainbow Families.

Greens Senator Janet Rice updates The Informer on the past couple of day’s events in our nation’s capital and gives us a little insight into the “dance” in the houses of the Australian parliament.

Anita Pell of Berry Street joins us to talk about Foster Care Week, September 11-17, busting some myths about the role of foster carers and who is eligible to participate.
