The New South Wales Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby (GLRL) today welcomed the historic announcement by a New South Wales Parliamentary Committee to revisit the partial defence of provocation.

The New South Wales Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby (GLRL), Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras (SGLMG), ACON and the Inner City Legal Centre (ICLC) today unveiled a joint petition aimed at forcing a debate in the State Parliament on the legislative framework governing complaints about Police conduct in New South Wales. This comes after well-publicised events following this year’s Sydney Mardi Gras Parade and ongoing community concerns over the use of drug dogs and the nature of search procedures at parties.

This year is the 25th anniversary of the NSW Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby, and in acknowledgement of that milestone we would like to invite the community to become Silver Supporters of the GLRL!
