The creator behind the Please Explain political cartoon series has sharply criticised the move to ban a trailer for his latest project, A Super Progressive Movie, from being shown at Parliament House, calling the decision “absolutely absurd”.

The trailer had been booked for screening at the Parliament House theatre on Tuesday as part of an event arranged nearly six weeks ago by One Nation, which also contributed funding to the film. But organisers were informed on the day that the booking had been cancelled because the trailer might offend someone.

A spokesperson for the Department of Parliamentary Services said the cancellation followed Parliament House events policy, which requires events to be “not likely to cause offence to any part of the Australian community”.
