Mardi Gras controversy
Days after the 2021 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, its board has found itself embroiled in controversy. Two members of Pride In Protest have been stood down from their positions as Mardi Gras board directors, including the only openly trans woman and sex worker on the board.
Charlie Murphy and Alex Bouchet from Pride in Protest were temporarily stood down following a meeting of the board on March 4, 2021. Pride In Protest alleged that the duo were suspended as punishment for their role in organising the protest march on Oxford Street on March 6. The Mardi Gras board denied that the protest march was the reason for its decision.
According to Alex, he and Charlie were surprised to receive correspondence asking them to explain why they should not be permanently removed from the Mardi Gras board.
Alex and Charlie alleged that the five others members on the board of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras – Jesse Matheson, Mel Schwerdt, Louis Hudson, Rob Smith, and Giovanni Campolo-Arcidiaco – voted “in a secret meeting” to remove them.[1]
