Jandakot Airport: Noise Complaints

Mr ALBANESE
—I rise today to speak about the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras held in Sydney on Saturday night, something that is now Australia's largest community function.
Mr Randall
—Were you there?
Mr ALBANESE
—I was in fact there and I was very proud to march in solidarity with
those gay and lesbian members of my community.
The Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras began as a civil liberties demonstration more than 20 years ago in a search for equal rights for those of gay and lesbian sexual orientation. It was begun by people such as Denis Altman, Craig Johnston and the late Brian McGahan. It is now a major tourist attraction for Sydney and Australia.
The organisers are to be congratulated in that more than 700,000 people were on the streets of Sydney with virtually no negative incidents. I note that the members of the Lyons Forum and the homophobes opposite are upset at this. Let me invite you to march next year because there are very few times that you can walk down the streets of Sydney as a politician and get cheered by 700,000 people. I think some of those opposite should reflect on that, and I will be there to be cheered by 700,000 people next year as well.
