Ms PATTEN (Northern Metropolitan) — I would like to congratulate Melbourne’s internationally renowned sexuality and gender diverse bookshop, cafe and performance venue, Hares & Hyenas, for winning Best Venue at the Melbourne Fringe Awards 2016. Beating 171 contenders, the performance space, called the Hare Hole, is celebrated for not censoring artists and providing an unparalleled venue for free expression that has hosted more than 1000 events. Proprietors and partners Rowland Thomson and Crusader Hillis — who works at Hansard here — say they were punks in the 1970s and 1980s and in 1991 channelled their life experience to set out to establish a space where every point of view can be expressed as well as taken in. Congratulations on furthering Melbourne’s culture and diversity at Hares & Hyenas.
