Soft Tread
The Wharf Revue - The End of The Wharf As We Know it!
After
twenty-five years in the harsh and unforgiving spotlight of politics, The
Wharf Revue has decided to step away from public life.
“It’s an opportunity to spend more time with family.” said a spokesperson. “At
the end of the day, this is about the need for renewal. We’ll serve one last
term to max out the super and then try to pick up some kind of consultancy work
or do a series of ‘Survivor’ - look, it’s too early to say but it has been an
honour to serve the Australian people.”
Many public figures who’ve appeared in the show regularly over the years are
lining up for a place in the final hurrah: Keating, Howard, Downer, Costello,
Gillard, Abbott, Carr, and other throwbacks too numerous to mention. Those who
bear the torch of democracy today: Lambie, Hanson, Bandt, Dutton and Albo - a
veritable “Who’s that?” of Australian politics.
So, join us for this joyous yet bitter-sweet send-off to one of the great
national theatrical institutions - but please, no flowers by request.

target and brilliant ... a work of comic genius” - Stage Noise.
