OPINION: Brian Greig is a local representative for Just.Equal Australia Time is running out for the WA Government to act on its LGBTIQA+ commitments. Our community must hold it to account. The Labor Government is more than half-way through its term with an election due in March 2025. It has lost star Premier Mark McGowan and […]
Tomorrow, Australians will be given the opportunity to take another step on the road to reconciliation as we cast our votes in the referendum on Indigenous recognition in the constitution and the establishment of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament. OUTinPerth co-editors and co-owners Graeme Watson and Leigh Andrew Hill will both […]
OPINION: Rodney Croome AM is a long-time LGBTIQ+ advocate. As trans-exclusionary LGB groups plan anti-trans billboards across three states, Rodney Croome looks at the hypocrisy of the ‘LGB without the T’ movement and what drives it. “Groomer” In 2020 I wrote an open letter to the newly-formed anti-trans LGB Alliance hoping they might reconsider their […]
OPINION Back in 2011 when I was first announced as the new editor for OUTinPerth, one of the most frequently asked questions I received was “Will you bring back the ‘Letter to the Editor’ section?”, of what was then – a monthly newspaper.

OPINION: Brian Greig is a local representative for Just.Equal Australia In the confusion surrounding the collapse of the Religious Discrimination Bill it was easy for political parties to misrepresent what resulted. Despite the newspaper headlines, memes on social media and judiciously worded press releases from the Opposition, things are not quite as clear as you might […]
OPINION: Rodney Croome AM is a long-time LGBTIQ+ advocate I recently wrote an article in which I referred to “the Sydney Disease” holding Australia back on LGBTIQ+ human rights. Because some people in Sydney took issue with what I wrote I appreciate this opportunity to clarify. Offense was taken by the word “disease” so I’ll […]
