@monika Anthony Albanese, being in a position to something good and tangible to improve the lives of queer people, marches in the mardi gras whilst not doing anything tangible to improve the lives of queer people.

Lidia Thorpe reignites discussions around police violence and the ways the most vulnerable people in our community are effected by it.

But sure, complain Thorpe for actually doing something and praise someone else for doing nothing.
