'As we hurtle toward the next Federal election, version 1.0 explores the realm of the minor parties in Australia. What is important to us today, and who really represents us in the political world? Using the Australian Sex Party as a launching pad for an investigation of civil liberties in Australia today, version 1.0 asks the question - who is in charge of my body? Marriage equality, voluntary euthanasia, abortion, censorship, sex education and the separation of church and state are put under version 1.0's theatrical microscope.
100 years after Canberra was founded to become a ‘city bearing a resemblance to the city beautiful of our dreams,’ version 1.0 asks if the nation’s capital has lived up to its mantle.
Densely interweaving irreverent hilarity and sobering seriousness, The Major Minor Party is a wild and eye-opening ride through the Australian political landscape.' (Source: http://www.canberratheatrecentre.com.au/site/what-is-on.php?task=detail&id=0406)
