Apologies if missing info @ScienceMarchSyd but list does not indicate #Indigenous speakers nor #LGBTQIA & disabled speakers. #marginsci
Hi @ScienceMarchSyd Released list of speakers includes some wonderful figures but is this the final list? https://twitter.com/ScienceMarchSyd/status/851201863613521920 … #marginsci

gotta agree with Zuleyka here. Is John Hewson apolitical now?
-
Hewson has been a vocal advocate for science & evidence in policy. He doesn't represent Liberal Party and we feel his message is important.
-
To be clear: former leader from party of our current government is still political. Announced ahead of an ATSI Australian sci.
#marginsci -
Politics is an important aspect of why we march. Hewson speaks to conservatives about importance of science. Eva Cox is a Labor identity.
-
March promoted nonpartisan stance.
#Marginsci around world protested this for months. Former Lib =politics. Cox was not member of parliament -
We are non-partisan. None of our speakers represent any political party. The Libs would not accept that Hewson represents or speaks for them
End of conversation

Finally while doubtless Dr John Hewson will make a compelling speaker, he was former Liberal Party Leader.... 1/2

SciMarch globally & in Australia made a big fuss about non-partisan stance which alienated minority groups. Why exception here?

YES! March takes place on Gadigal land. Plenty of amazing ATSI scientists. Same goes for disabled & LGBTQIA people: we need their expertise
