The standing down of a Sydney Mardi Gras director who missed a number of board meetings has sparked fury from Pride in Protest, the left-wing activist group he represented.

The special commission of inquiry into NSW LGBTIQ hate crimes held its final public hearing on Tuesday, just over a year after it began.

Bondi Beach will once again host another party during next year’s Mardi Gras season, it can be officially confirmed, after 2024's full Mardi Gras program line-up was announced.

Mardi Gras’ 2024 event line-up was only released on Friday morning but already questions are being asked about how much ticket prices have gone up for the official parade after-party and Bondi Beach Party.

The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras has confirmed it will host next year’s parade after-party at the Hordern Pavillion despite a government proposal to shift the location to Allianz Stadium.

The City of Sydney will be tasked with investigating whether to add five additional colours to the city’s public pride flag artworks under a proposal being put forward by an independent councillor.
