The program, which is meeting it’s own resistance here in Perth, is an opt-in program that provides resources to help schools cultivate a more inclusive environment for LGBTI students.
Pedestrian have reported that the group of protesters have made their way into Senator Bernardi’s Kent Town office, chanting “racist, sexist, anti-queer, Bernardi is not welcome here.”

If you are a member of Socialist Alternative or you know someone who is a member call them to account for this destructive behaviour. The LGBTQIA community will never endorse terrorism or bullying.
This is wrong. Cory is a nasty man but this is NOT how you win the battle against homophobia.
So what?! A few papers got messed up in a crowded occupied office and some furniture upturned. That happens when 40 people crowd into a space designed for 4. That could have all happened by accident.
I can see why they did that. I felt the same way when he has mouthed off. but I think I’d rather see his lights punched out rather than useless destruction.
