New South Wales police have officially been uninvited from Mardi Gras, Sydney’s pride event.
Senior Constable Beaumont Lamarre-Condon has been accused of murdering Sydney gay couple Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, and as such, the precinct has been asked not to appear.
Debate over the police's involvement with the march began after Lamarre-Cordon allegedly shot his ex-boyfriend and his new partner with his service gun.
Australian Correspondent Donna Demaio told Mike Hosking that police will comply.
She says Police have expressed disappointment in the decision, but will work to ensure a safe environment for all.
