Performing artist and musician Kirin J. Callinan has been charged by NSW Police following an incident in which he allegedly lifted his kilt and flashed his penis on the ARIA red carpet.
He was charged yesterday with “wilful and obscene exposure in a public place” which can result in six month jail, or a $1100 fine.
Callinan was dropped from the Laneway lineup following the incident; rapper Miss Blanks confirmed she drove his removal from the event.
Callinan took to Instagram last week, writing of his disappointment in missing the event, while urging those who had attacked Miss Blanks to pull their heads in.
“To say I’m a wee bit disappointed that I will not also be performing for every dusty, sexy, sunburnt woman & man & non-binary human ‘round this beaut n dusty sunburnt land is the understatement o the new year.
“But more important than some rocking concert, more relevant than resentment or regrets, is respect – for each & every one o us.
“So, be kinder to each other in 2018, be kinder to yourselves and perhaps, one day not too far from now, the world will be big enough, for all of us.”
