Freedom of Speech A satire by Kieran Butler Mar 29 - Apr 22, Thu - Sun, 7.00 PM Station 59, 59 Church St, Richmond
Did you know your freedom of speech is under attack? It's an outrage. And quite controversial. You can’t even call people Leftards anymore! Even Julia Gillard!
You can't make jokes about a bloke being a 'dud root' - unless you're Kyle Sandilands, and the bloke is a chick whose a 'fat slag'! White people are pretending to be black to get cushy government jobs - but you can’t print that in the newspaper! Not since the court case. Fight back Australia! It's your democratic right to say whatever you want, to whoever you want, whenever you want!
