HOBART 4 APRIL: GRAHAM LINEHAN
Irish writer Graham Linehan is to speak in Hobart Town Hall on Thursday 4 April. Linehan is best known as the scriptwriter of the comedy series Father Ted. Linehan’s opinion of the Catholic Church is pretty negative, as viewers of Father Ted will quickly gather, but he has been ‘cancelled’ for his opposition to transgenderism and the Dawson Centre is proud to support the Free Speech Union of Australia in co-sponsoring his visit. LATE NEWS: Linehan’s visa application has been delayed and he may not be allowed in. We should be surprised to hear that, but sadly we are not. We’ll provide confirmation and details when we can.
