    Queers to the front poster with date, time, location and lineup

    Join us for a night of queer celebration! With live music, comedy and drag performances, we’ll celebrate queer artistry and the Greens’ proud record of advocacy!
    Greens in local government play a crucial role in defending LGBTQI+ rights. They’ve stood strong with the queer community as Melbourne’s drag storytime events become battlegrounds for inclusivity against far-right opposition. Joined by former Senator and proud queer activist Janet Rice, meet our candidates for Moonee Valley City Council Jodie Kinnersley and Declan McGinness as they commit to build an inclusive community for us all and promote arts and culture in Moonee Valley.
    Doors from 6:30pm-late
