Since OUTinPerth broke the story about the new Lord Mayor’s comments about gender the story has been picked up by newspapers, websites and television stations around the country, as well as overseas media outlets.

On October 29th, the day after the story was first published, Graeme was invited on to 6PR’s Breakfast Show which is hosted by the Lord Mayor and his longtime radio partner Steve Mills.
