The Death of the Aussie Larrikin?

Sky News host and political commentator Rowan Dean presents a documentary special examining whether or not political correctness has caused the demise of the larrikin spirit in Australian life and culture. Dean takes a nostalgic look back at the 'Aussie larrikin' of the 1970s and 80s, then tracks the changing tastes and standards of more recent years, and asks has it been crushed by political correctness, the growth of social media, and the "cancel culture" which in recent years has seen online outrage shut down comedy and TV shows.
