Europe and Asia to them.
ENTERTAINMENT:
Will be provided by "UnAustralian" Folk singer, David Beniuk.
David who describes his music as "dysfunctional, flannelette, virtual
reality, shopping mall, generation X folk music" has recorded 2 CD's.
The latest one entitled "UnAustralian Folksongs" reflects contemporary
Australia under the Coalition government.
According to David, he called his album "UnAustralian" because the word is
increasingly being used to put down anyone who questions the status quo.
The word, he said, "Is very reminiscent of McCarthy's use of UnAmerican to
purge the so called Communists in the US in the 50s"!
ENJOY AN EVENING OF SOLIDARITY, WITH GREAT FOOD, SPEAKERS AND
ENTERTAINMENT.
