Key takeaway The landlord cited a 1842 law that allows for the shutdown of "offensive trade".
A local theater troupe is fighting back after being removed from their venue. The troupe, which produces LGBTQ + themed work, was terminated from their lease by the landlord, KCSYD Pty Ltd. The landlord cited a 1842 law that allows for the shutdown of "offensive trade".
The law was originally intended to address industrial issues, but the landlord is using it to claim the troupe's work is offensive. The troupe is speaking out and raising funds to fight the termination. Further details on the situation and the troupe's efforts to fight the termination are available through the Star Observer.
The case is notable for its use of a historic law to address alleged moral offensiveness.
