Corrections Department to not attend Auckland Pride Parade

The Auckland Pride Festival Board has asked the Department of Corrections to withdraw its application to march in next month's Auckland Pride Parade. Corrections presence at Pride events became contentious after protest group No Pride In Prisons gatecrashed the parade objecting to the Department's staff for their treatment of transgender inmates. bFM reporter Pearl Little speaks to No Pride in Prisons spokesperson Emily Rākete about the issue.
