Victoria Police will skip the Midsumma Festival march due to a new ban on formal uniforms.
Victoria Police will not participate in the Midsumma Festival pride march due to a new policy that bans formal uniforms, including police uniforms. The policy, aimed at enhancing safety and inclusivity, was met with resistance from the police force, which views it as a "backward step for inclusion." Despite not participating, uniformed police will still ensure safety at the event. This decision follows last year's march, where police faced confrontations from protesters.
