There’s no doubt that the rally was a significant event on the road to full rights for GLBTI Australians. The speakers included Lisa Newman, CPSU National Vice President. A number of unions were sponsors of the rally including the CFMEU, Teachers’ Federation, Maritime Union of Australia as well as the CPSU.
Before the rally moved off to march through the city and Oxford street to Taylors square,Workers Out! distributed a leaflet the text is shown below.

Dear Members, Friends and Guests of Worker's Out

I am very pleased to have been nominated as Co-Convenor of Worker's Out at a recent gathering of the annual general meeting.

Prior to that my work experience was in local government and secondary education. I am currently living with my same-sex partner of seven years in Sydney.
