Having worked in the centre of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian community for 33 years I have enjoyed contact with many of Australia’s “ruling elite”, people in the know , politicians , business, media , and the autocracy. On one occasion I visited NSW Australian Democrats Senator Elizabeth Kirkby OAM ( who also played Lucy Sutcliffe in the ground breaking Number 96). I was seeking her help with a gay and lesbian parenting issue that had flared up at that time. After the MP had offered her advise and support, the Senator went on to warn me “..that she had seen some of the stuff coming down the pipeline for Gay and Lesbian People and that quite frankly – we were NOT going to like any of it ! ” Strange, I thought. No one inside the community was aware of any state moves against us all and against our community itself, nothing of that nature was on the community radar or the community media radar. Now in retrospect the Senators warning was sage and has been born out in truth. The point I am making is that while the public message from the state might say one thing, there are secret forces with the Australian state and there are secret policies driving a deeper agenda. In reality , without most of us realising it, those forces have acted ruthlessly to capture and transform our community for their own purposes and in their own view of the world , NOT OURS. Those forces do exist and demonstrably they can be deeply homophobic, Central to the Senators implied existence of secret policies against us are the Police, the church and the ultra right wing. They do not understand us gay and lesbian people nor do they want to, and yet they now set the rules and the culture of OUR exitance, but NOT in our interests, rather in their own interests. To be Gay or Lesbian in Australia in 2021 is to be a subject of a faceless police state. No less. That is the fact of the matter. Be warned that straight powerbrokers DO NOT think like Gay & Lesbian people do.

Given this stinking fascist media arrest my advice is to tell the NT police to TAKE DOWN OUR FLAG IMMEDIATELY. To be quite honest we do not have any idea what they are up to. They operate in secret. Police can not be trusted to gay and lesbian trust standards, and never have the police avoided deplorable self interested mission creep. Never. Take our flag down please. This arrest demonstrates that we can not trust you.
