Inhaltsangabe

In einem leidenschaftlichen persönlichen/politischen Statement beschuldigt Australiens berühmtester Festivaldirektor und Kabarettkünstler Australien und seine politischen Führer, seine Kunst an Populismus und "den Mythos des Mainstreams" zu verkaufen. Während zu Hause Australier tolerant, fantasievoll und flexibel sind, lässt der Mainstream keine Meinungsunterschiede mehr in der Öffentlichkeit zu.
