On dangerous ground

Festival of Dangerous Ideas
Proceed with caution. One or more of the following topics, and the events surrounding them, will incite a reaction. Possibly a dismissive pah, more likely a little rage.

Religion poisons everything.
Polygamy and other Islamic Values are good for Australia.
Yes to Child Labour. No to the minimum wage.
Policing our minds is the future.
By 2075 the Aboriginal genocide will be complete.
Make all drug use legal.
Without God we are nothing.
Why we enjoy killing.
The old should pay for themselves.

If you’re itching to wade into the debate, the Festival of Dangerous Ideas is where you’ll need to be this October long weekend. 50 speakers and performers, free events, debates, and panel discussions will be vying to put a squeeze on your collar or get your knickers in a knot.
