Die Laughing: The Wild Life of Bill Leak


Overview

Few people epitomised Australia's irreverent culture during the heady 1980s and 90s more than artist, cartoonist and raconteur Bill Leak. He was both erudite and outrageous, as comfortable among the glitterati as he was with the down-and-out. In the late 2000s, however, he noticed Australia changing. He started to publicly warn that censorship, identity politics, militant Islam and pious environmentalism were destroying the culture he loved so much. The intelligentsia, including some of his closest friends, scoffed. The acrimony and vilification stung him. Friendships were lost. Now, almost a decade after his death, his worst fears are materialising. Just as he predicted, Australia is in rapid decline. If Leak were still alive, he'd be asking, who's laughing now?
