Two Transport Canberra buses have been wrapped in rainbows this week as the ACT Government shows its ongoing support for the LGBTIQ community.
Minister for Transport and City Services Meegan Fitzharris revealed the design today out the front of the ACT Legislative Assembly.
“We have specially wrapped these two buses in ‘We are CBR’ rainbows as part of the ACT Government’s ongoing support for the rights of the LGBTIQ community,” Minister Fitzharris said.
“The ACT Government has a long-standing commitment to equality – a commitment that is even more important right now in the context of the Federal Government’s divisive and non-binding voluntary postal survey on Marriage Equality.
“The ACT Government made a strong commitment earlier this month to provide extra support to the LGBTIQ community to help them through this difficult time. Most of this is in the form of increased support to LGBTIQ-focussed support organisations and mental health networks.
“But these newly-wrapped buses - covered by Transport Canberra’s existing promotional arrangements - will serve not only to further reinforce where our Government stands on equality, but also as a reminder to all LGBTIQ Canberrans that we stand with you and support you.”
These two buses will be on the road for at least the next three months, and form part of a range of activities in support of the LGBTIQ community which will be seen across Canberra in coming weeks.
The location of these rainbow buses will also be made available on the Transport Canberra Twitter and Facebook accounts each morning over the coming week.
