More than 100 protesters are targeting a Melbourne function attended by Prime Minister Julia Gillard, condemning the government’s stance on same-sex marriage and asylum seekers.
Carl Katter, the gay half-brother of federal independent MP Bob Katter, has addressed protesters outside a hotel in Melbourne’s CBD where Ms Gillard is to address the University of Melbourne’s AsiaLink conference.
Protesters from Equal Love Victoria and the Refugee Action Collective have joined forces to condemn Ms Gillard over her policies regarding asylum seekers and the federal government’s ban on same-sex marriage.
