Since then, Tasmanian Labor premier Jim Bacon, promising that the devil will not follow the thylacine into extinction, has committed $A1.8 million. The federal government...
...Gondoliers has a plot that the drunker among us might find a trifle complicated: a pair of happy-go-lucky gondoliers, Marco (Phillipe Pierce) and Giuseppe (G. Cross Woodfield ’06), each marry a flower-toting Contadina—Gianetta (Caroline E. Jackson ’06) and Tessa (Maria Alu), respectively. The couples’ nuptial bliss is thrown into doubt when it is revealed that one of them—no one can say which for sure—may be the heir to the Kingdom of Barataria. The heir among them was transplanted to Venice...
