Farida Iqbal in the seat of Fraser


Farida Iqbal
FRASER
FARIDA IQBAL lives in Dickson and is working on a PhD thesis on violence against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) youth. She has been an activist for about ten years, campaigning mainly around anti-nuclear issues and same sex marriage.

In 2002 she helped to organise a large contingent from Perth to attend a national peace convergence at Pine Gap. In 2006 she helped to organise a series of protests in the ACT for same sex civil unions. She is currently helping to organise the Walk Against Warming in Canberra, and is an activist in the Canberra Network for Democracy in Burma. She is particularly enthusiastic about organising among young people.

“The Howard government banned same sex marriage, and the Labor Party fell into line behind them! Our government is not only doing very little to stop the suffering, they are actually trying to cultivate it! This is a rich country. There is no need for this callous disregard for human
life.”

“SA is a campaigning based party, we believe real change is based on the power of popular mobilisation. If elected I will use my political position to stand up for GLBT people, refugees, an end to war in the Middle East, workers rights, and for real solutions to climate change. I will continue to do this regardless of whether I am elected or not.”
