We are going to lose the expertise to fight hate crimes that effect our community.

When I asked Peter Ryan, the head of the Victorian National Party who is the current Police Minister about GLBTI rights, he wrote, “What you do in your bedroom is your business and that is where it should stay”. He simply has no clue. And all those Liberal members such as the Prahran member, sucked up to us before the election, and when given the chance to show leadership, he drove a knife into our neck supporting the changes the Equal Opportunity Act, that stripped away our protections. He chose to turn back the clock. To take us backwards as a community, to support those that are out to do us great harm in the Liberal Party. He could walk 3 metres accross the floor of parliament, but sat with the haters. He lied to us, he betrayed us, he disgraced himself and let the party be taken over by Christian Fundamentalist. He supported them and not us.
