Brenna Harding, who at age eight introduced Australia to her two mums, says Cumberland Council’s ban of a same-sex parenting book shows how little has changed.
It has been almost 20 years to the day since a then eight-year-old Brenna Harding and her mothers, Vicki Harding and Jackie Braw, appeared on“I’m Brenna. That’s me in the blue. My mums are taking me and my friend Meryn to an amusement park,” she says in the segment, which follows the group on a day out at western Sydney’s since-closed Wonderland.The backlash was swift.
It is a different story for Harding’s family friends, Eve and Margo, aged 7 and 3, who have several books in their home with families like their own two-mum family, including Harding’s, which Eve can read aloud to her sister. Councillor Steve Christou, who introduced the initial motion to ban the book, urged his supporters to attend the meeting in a social media post on Saturday, accusing the Labor Party of “working up a campaign” and promising to continue to represent “this community’s values”.
