"Fair Play" - Your Rights and Safety at LGBTIQ Events

With the outrageous performance of the police last Mardi Gras, the Inner City Legal Centre, Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby and Mardi Gras for the Fair Play, have launched the Fair Play website.

FAIR PLAY is an LGBTIQ community initiative to help party-goers understand their legal rights and how to keep safe during the Mardi Gras Festival. FAIR PLAY is a commitment by LGBTIQ organisations to provide accurate legal resources and education to the LGBTIQ community. 

This website has lots of easy to read information about keeping safe, police powers, drug searches, sniffer dogs and complaint procedures. 

FAIR PLAY is committed to respecting human rights through the principles of harm reduction. We are interested in your safety and providing you with as much information as possible. more

Know your rights if you come across a cop who's just out to get you. Although after the huge media attention and the co-ordinated response from the gay community, I seriously think the police will be on their best behaviour this time.
