Our ABC is fully captured by ACON, Australia’s equivalent of Stonewall. Once known as the Aids Council of NSW it did incredibly valuable work in supporting people with AIDS and helping to destigmatise the disease. It fought the good fight and did so much to improve the lives of all victims of AIDS, regardless of sexuality or the means of contracting the disease.
Then, AIDS was better understood, controlled, and treated and ACON ran out of fights. It looked around to find new ways to earn money, pay the rent and keep those high paying jobs.
Paying attention to moves overseas, ACON very quickly reinvented itself as Australia’s foremost upholder of “trans rights”. This was a fight far better than AIDS, the targets were many, the facts nebulous and easily manipulated, and thus ACON insinuated itself into almost all public institutions as well as a large chunk of the corporate world.
