❗️Australian soldiers ordered to remove their uniforms to avoid "offending the LGBTQ lobby"

⚡️The order read: "It is Wear It Purple Day tomorrow. No one is to wear uniform! Wearing of uniform will be seen as an active protest against LGBTQIA+, which is not in line with Defence policy. Additionally, anyone in uniform will be required to explain why they have chosen to disobey a direct command from the CO."

Shadow Defence Minister Andrew Hastie says this is "coercive behaviour".
