This is amazing news…..but did the council approve the $15,000 expenditure for this event? If so, they need to also fund events for people of other heritages.

Yes. But i do think it’s a shame that we can’t all party together (like we used to) without splintering out into different groups.

Very true! Also, do DJ’s get that 15k or exactly where does that money go?

Yeah, I don’t think that it’s a good thing to do to divide the country in two separate sub groups. We should be promoting unity and getting together and having a good time and celebrating together! if every single group decided they want to have their own pride we need a lot more than one month of the year.
