Activities
Hogg was highly critical of Prime Minister Julia Gillard's decision to allow Labor MPs a conscience vote on same-sex marriage at the 2011 ALP National Conference, calling it "a slap in the face and a betrayal".
In 2012 she was ejected from a Lygon Street cafe for yelling at Federal Leader of the Opposition Tony Abbott, labeling him a bigot for his opposition to same-sex marriage. Abbott, who was dining with The Australian's foreign editor Greg Sheridan was reportedly unimpressed.
Education and career
Hogg studied at the Victorian College of the Arts and became a freelance photographer, a profession she considers "paradoxical", as it includes some wedding photography. She is also a member of the Trotskyist organisation Socialist Alternative.
