Does it matter that we went to war on a lie? Will the good that has come of the war outweigh the wrongs done in our name? When our boys come home from Iraq, will they recognise the new militarised Australia? This is the territory reconnoitred in The Wages of Spin, a new performance from the company behind CMI, last year’s smash hit based on the “Children Overboard” Inquiry. With sources including public inquiries and other artefacts from the recent war (and its electoral aftermath), it’s part documentary, part civic archaeology, and part frenzied media circus – political theatre for the 21st century.
