The ABC article might give some clues to what he's on about: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-05/liberal-calls-for-mardi-gras-funding-review-afterparty-cancelled/106309430

One of the motions called for a boycott of organisations materially funding US President Donald Trump in response to the roll-back of transgender rights in the United States.

They have since spearheaded campaigns to ban NSW Police from marching in the parade, pushed to prohibit corporate sponsors and floats, and for Mardi Gras to adopt explicitly political stances regarding trans rights and Palestinian liberation, among others.
