Artist and activist Peter Drew
Peter Drew’s posters can be seen on streets throughout Australia, throwing down a challenge to passers-by to consider our national identity.

There might be something you’re missing. You can’t forgo that possibility and bathe in the certainty of your convictions. You can’t be puritanical, because that is the worst thing of all.”
