It is reported in today's Argus (January 25) that whistles are to be provided to members of the gay community to blow in the event of being attacked or intimidated.

LGBT community liaison official Lisa Timerick states: "By blowing the whistles, it would show a united community".

How so, when whistles are only being offered to members of the gay community? Why are they not offered to heterosexual persons, who I can assure the police are also attacked?

Surely this is a case of sexual discrimination?
