Antony McManus and Ron Van Houwelingen were one of the first couples to get married when the Marriage Act amendment came through early this year, but as part of the marriage equality campaign, and working with Equal Love, they had professed their love at the altar many times before.

We asked them to share their story a year on from the announcement of the marriage equality postal survey results.

Anna Brown, Director of the Human Rights Law Centre and Co-chair of the Equality Campaign, joins us on the anniversary of the marriage equality postal survey result to discuss the impact the vote has had on politics and what LGBTI rights we still have to fight for.

We also raise the results of a recent report on hate crimes against the LGBTI community and how minority groups are being protected from hate speech, bullying and violence.

A year on from the marriage equality postal survey results, federal Labor Party leader Bill Shorten joins us to discuss the effects the survey had on the LGBTI community, how marriage equality has changed our nation and what’s next for the rights of LGBTI Australians and minority groups.

With Labor promising $10m towards building Melbourne’s Pride Centre and a further $600k to move and upgrade JOY if elected at the next federal election, we discuss the importance of more Australians having access to LGBTI community services.
