State leader Premier Daniel Andrews has gone on the political offensive in the culture wars inviting five cross-dressers to Parliament House in response to the cancellation of drag storytime events across Melbourne.

On May 17, the drag queens were hosted by the Victorian Labor premier and Minister for Equality, Harriet Shing, to celebrate the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia.
