It is so refreshing to see someone on Mr Turner's side of politics taking up the fight and not just ignoring it. Well done.

Thank you, Russell. With a man of integrity like this as a member, the Nationals have just won back some respect from me. Well done.

A lot of gay people grow up in regional australia. Not many continue to live there- I think it is exceptionally brave to be out and proud and living in regional australia. Thank you for this statement.

Being a gay man who grew up in Orange, it is amazing to see a public figure stand out against something that is so rampant in regional towns! Thankyou
