In WA during the late 70s, if it was raining on a Friday, the school flying was cancelled and the instructors would adjourn to a pub some 30km away for a Flight Safety Meeting. Such meetings involved ladies demonstrating the safe way to remove clothing, which perhaps was soaked in fuel, to avoid going up in flames. From all the demos I saw, luckily none of the girls were injured.

The Perth council decided that because the pub was open to the public, it would be possible that a child or a snowflake would see such a demonstration of safety and construe it as something else, so the so-called "Strip shows" were banned from pubs.

The pub had a close look at the wording, and got around it by having the girls come onto stage naked, and slowly put their safety equipment on. Sometimes very slowly, and some of the equipment didn't look very safe, just little bits of string, but they were Hi-Vis, so that was alright.
