Respect Victoria encourages family support for LGBTIQ+ people
April 14, 2021 9:38
Respect Victoria is showcasing the significance the support of a family member can have on an LGBTIQ+ person in realising and celebrating their identity.
The Shannon Company managing partner, Michael Daddo, said: “Throughout our extensive consultation with stakeholders the need came through incredibly strongly to demonstrate what support for LGBTIQ+ family members looks like, and the impact that even subtle negative responses can have.
“In our research we found very little public positive role modelling and really wanted to create a campaign that had the audience thinking ‘I can relate to that situation’ and ‘I could do that next time I see disrespect happening.

Monopolies causing ‘artificial rationing’ in Covid-19 crisis as 3 biggest global vaccine giants sit on sidelines
Date: 5 February 2021
The supply of safe and effective vaccines for all is being artificially rationed because of the protection of exclusive rights and monopolies of pharmaceutical corporations, the People’s Vaccine Alliance said today.
The alliance warned that the three biggest vaccine companies in the world are largely sitting on the sidelines – they currently plan to produce enough Covid-19 vaccines for only 1.5 per cent of the global population in 2021. A number of other large manufacturers are not yet producing any of the successful, proven Covid-19 vaccines.
