The Daily Aus · Can a church become a nightclub? · 19 Jul 2026 podcast

Yes, correct.

And they're saying they can do whatever they want, but the government should not be supporting this kind of quote-unquote mockery.

That's kind of a spoiler.

We'll loop back to that at the end.

Oh, okay.

So the petition organiser wrote, I accept that not everyone shares my beliefs and I support freedom of expression.

However, there is a significant difference between allowing a private business to operate and having the New South Wales government associated with it in any official capacity.

Yeah, I will say the petition signers, there is a lot of...

Yes, that was another petition, as I mentioned, that's received over 14,000 signatures at the time of recording.

And they're arguing that the building hasn't been a church for decades.

And what was being done in there was creating a safe space for certain marginalized communities like the queer community, but also giving artists a platform.

And they're saying that platform's now been taken away.

A quote from this petition is, if a lawful tenant can be driven out because a vocal minority objects to its creative expression, it sets a dangerous precedent.

Yeah, this was really interesting because I actually went to DM them when this story first broke to see if they'd agree to an interview and I couldn't because their profiles had been taken down.

And it wasn't just the Heaps Gay account, it was the Divine Playhouse account and then Kat Dopper who

we heard a little grab from earlier, her personal account was also taken down.

So, I mean, she never got an explicit reason why, so she didn't want to allude to the fact that it could have been a targeted online campaign.

But what she did say was that when she went to Meta and...

made the application to get the accounts back, they did find that the pages didn't breach any community standards.

So it was perhaps not meant to have been taken down.
