Australian rapper Illy has slammed the Australian government over some of the latest Covid restrictions.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday night, the 35-year-old criticised the government for banning singing and dancing at music festivals, while still allowing it to go ahead in churches.

'You can postpone all our festivals and gigs, you can say no dancing in clubs for the next 50 years, and you can make singing and shouting in public illegal except in sermons and the cricket for some reason,' he wrote.

'FYI I’m for everyone’s religious beliefs. The post is a joke, aimed at the latest horse shit double standard the music industry is ONCE AGAIN having to face. Not attacking religion at all,' he wrote.

Premier Dominic Perrottet, after months of railing against Covid restrictions, announced last week that singing and dancing at indoor hospitality venues would be banned.
