NZ banks decline participation in Wellington Pride Parade

From Checkpoint, 5:27 pm on 6 March 2020

New Zealand's six major banks have announced they will not be participating in tomorrow's Wellington International Pride Parade.

The last-minute decision was a collective one, made by the banks' umbrella rainbow group.

The move follows similar calls by several organisations and charities over the past few weeks, after concerns were raised about a lack of LGBTQI-plus community representation.
