(Community Recognition Statement, 22 October 2020, Legislative Assembly, NSW Parliament)

I acknowledge the one-year anniversary of Sydney's successful bid for WorldPride, which will be held in 2023. During the week I was glad to join the member for Newtown and former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull at celebrations at Universal. It was wonderful that we were all able to go to a gay bar on Oxford Street to celebrate this great win. Today CEO of WorldPride Kate Wicket was able to brief the Parliamentary Friends of the LGBTIQ Community, who all look forward to working with the organisers towards that celebration in 2023 and hopefully hosting an event in this Parliament.
