Oxford St comes alive as Albanese and Chris Minns march in Mardi Gras parade

Sydney was delivered to life on Saturday evening for the forty fifth Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras because the Prime Minister and NSW Opposition Leader marched side-by-side down town’s iconic Oxford St.

Anthony Albanese is the primary sitting Prime Minister to participate within the parade.

“It’s unfortunate that I am the first, but this is a celebration of modern Australia,” he stated.

The parade marks the midway level of the two-week Sydney WorldPride pageant – which is estimated to inject $800 million into the New South Wales economic system.
