$290 million in bribes was paid to the regime of an evil dictator on the eve of war. Why? Government ministers and Australian Wheat Board executives all struggled to remember exactly what went on, but no one is too sure… The 8,500 pages of transcript of the Cole Inquiry into the ‘wheat-for-weapons’ scandal have been transformed into provocative, innovative and entertaining theatre by version 1.0, the team behind the acclaimed The Wages of Spin.
It’s time to kickback the kickbacks.
