Canberra Reviews
We are the lucky country indeed — able to poke fun at our grand leader's derriere and red hair without losing our heads. That said, if you've had a gutful of sound bites, corruption, and so-called scandal, then let out all that frustration and exasperation with a chuckle at Red Wharf: Beyond The Rings of Satire.

Par for the course for attending a concert in a cathedral, of course.
