In short:

NSW Police are facing fresh calls to be banned from marching at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

Three resolutions relating to police marching in the parade will be put to a vote at the Mardi Gras annual general meeting tomorrow.

NSW Premier Chris Minns has slammed the potential ban despite LGBTQ+ community consultation showing a majority of members do not want police to take part.

Because some of those organising it where the ones that had the crap beaten out of them by police not so long ago.

Right, and in all likelihood so were the current police who are now wanting to join the march.

They're allowed to join the march, just not as police.

The ban is for the police as an institution.
