I am just reading that Sydney Mardi Gras CEO Jesse Matheson has expelled Pride in Protest from the parade.

"The NSW Police Force is dedicated to supporting LGBTQIA+ communities and takes pride in its role as a community leader for inclusion and diversity,” she said.
“The NSW Police Force works closely with Mardi Gras organisers to ensure the safety and success of its events.”
Again, I'm going to point out to the below article. This is why Police should not be allowed to participate in pride events and Mardi Gras. And if there are #LGBTQIA members in the police force, they shouldn't even want to represent the police in Mardi Gras.

#MardiGras members have voted to remove the #parade's #PoliceAccord that allows the police to #conduct #publicdecency #inspections.
#PrideinProtest said, ""It's disturbingly #violent that #MardiGras has invited #police to conduct '#decencychecks' … upon #queer and #trans #people at #MardiGras, and today the #membership has said a resounding '#nomore'."
