Sydney Mardi Gras considers banning uniformed police from 2025 parade due to community tensions.

The Sydney Mardi Gras may ban uniformed police from the 2025 parade due to tensions between the police and the LGBTQIA+ community. At an upcoming meeting, members will vote on three proposals: one that requires the police to demonstrate improved community relations, another that calls for a complete ban, and a third that allows LGBTQI police to march in plain clothes. This decision follows the 2024 ban after a police officer was charged with murder.
