Macca and Paul are joined live in the studio by Anna Brown from Equality Australia, as they discuss the ‘Hands off our Protections’ petition.

CEO Anna Brown’s fingerprints are on nearly every major reform for LGBTIQ+ people in recent years. She played a critical role in the campaign for marriage equality co-chairing the Equality Campaign.

Our communities are facing some of the most serious attacks on our rights and protections in many years.

Right now, multiple Bills are being pushed that would strip protections from trans people and take a wrecking ball to Australia’s anti-discrimination laws more broadly.

No one should be singled out for exclusion because of who they are. Sign our petition now calling on MPs to stand up for our communities.

Now is the time for our communities and allies to come together and push back.

Sign the petition today.
