Pride in Protest activist Quay-Quay Quade interrupts Catholic Archbishop of ... trends now
A protester has made an explosive outburst at a parliament inquiry into proposed legislation which will make it easier for transgender people to register a sex change.
Pride in Protest activist Quay-Quay Quade disrupted proceedings with an expletive-filled tirade at the parliamentary inquiry held in NSW Parliament in Sydney on Wednesday.
The lower house committee is considering legislation called the Equality Legislation Amendment Bill 2023.
Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Reverend Anthony Fisher was in the middle of giving evidence at the committee hearing which was being livestreamed online.
He was just one minute into his submission when he was rudely interrupted mid-sentence by Ms Quade, who was sitting behind him.
'There is a troubling anti-religious undercurrent,' he began before Ms Quade stood up and began yelling.

'That's a load of f***ing bull****,' she said.
Ms Quade appearing to be filming on her phone during the outburst, forced a surprised Archbishop Fisher to discontinue his address.
The live broadcast was cut as Ms Quade was removed from the room.
Outside parliament, Ms Quade slammed the inquiry as a 'sham'.
'This inquiry is totally just theatre so that it looks like the Labor party is doing something,' she told the ABC.
When the hearing resumed, Archbishop Fisher spoke about the injustices experienced by the LGBTIQ+ community.
'We sympathise with all efforts to discourage or forbid unjust discrimination against LGBT people,' he said.
