The operators of Melbourne’s Federation Square have censored the content of an anti-Adani slideshow presented there, demanding that all images of newspaper headlines and politicians, as well as “explicitly negative” environmental messages be removed. On Saturday, a coalition of environmental groups held a screening of the documentary Guarding the Galilee at Federation Square, attended by about 300 people. In the week before the event, Federation Square demanded to see the slideshow that would be presented before the screening and then demanded much of it be removed. Federation square also demanded that the “stop Adani” logo be changed to black and white, and that it not take up a whole slide. Fed Square was delighted to approve the screening of an important environmental documentary, Guarding the Galilee.
