Contestant hijacks live eviction
21:51 AEST Sun Jun 13 2004

Big Brother evictee Merlin Luck used his 15 minutes of fame to send a blunt and mute political message calling for the freeing of refugees.

Luck threw Channel Ten's nationally televised Sunday night live eviction show into turmoil to make a political statement.
The 24-year-old from Sydney, who a show spokesman said came to Australia from Germany and spent seven years as a refugee, arrived on stage after being evicted with his mouth taped shut.

He also revealed a sign, fashioned from black tape on a piece of white sheet which read (sic) Free Th Refugees.
