Greg Duffield

from Radical Australia · host Activist + Comedian + Bohemian

We sure wish Duff would write a book about his stay in an abandoned resort behind Cape Tribulation and his cosying-up with a cassowary. We might have to settle for his sci-fi, end of the earth epic about 4 blokes who return from the forest to find they are the last humans alive. In Warrnambool. Those old enough may know Duff as the fella who pie-faced himself then kissed Premier Stephen Bracks at the opening of the 2001 International Comedy Festival. It was Duff's humurous attempt to get back at the Premier for basically encouraging Victoria Police to bludgeon the crowd at the World Economic Forum protests / S11 a little while earlier. Greg paid a high price for his stunt, with it costing him comedy gigs and a history re-write. Greg hit his straps as an activist at the Jabiluka protests. He grew up on a sheep farm in Warrnambool with a very humorous brother, he's been a lab rat, he writes books, he squats around the place and says the mission in life is to achieve peace within yourself. He is currently gearing up for some action for Homelessness Week. It was great to have him on. He's a good egg. Thanks, Duff!Duff and friend, Jeanie, in the 3CR courtyard. They were both Barak Beacon activists.
