The Arts Minister says that the musical Grease reflected the different attitudes of the 1950s and 1970s.
When the movie was released -- in the 1970s -- it was satirised in Mad Magazine. The magazine was able to identify the key message: To catch a boy a girl needs to dress like a slut.
The message is wrapped in cheerful song-and-dance numbers to hide the insult to women.
Come the 2020s and attitudes have not changed. There are still some people who can see past the colourful bubble-gum wrapping to the show's demeaning attitude to women's role in society.
