Joyce says One Nation are ‘not homophobes’, but won’t be seen at Mardi Gras
One Nation leader Barnaby Joyce says his party are not homophobes, but will absolutely not attend a Mardi Gras event.
Everybody’s trying to make us as a pack of homophobes, which we’re not. It’s just ridiculous. And we’re not racist, we’re not homophobes, but we always get these tropes thrown at us …
You can absolutely bet I would not go to the Mardi Gras. But that’s my business, and we just want you to live your own life.
This is not the Australia we want to be and it is not the answer to the growing challenges facing our community.
