It's more a drama class you need, your amateur hysteria just doesn't cut the mustard.

Perhaps there is a good one in your area that could give you assistance?

You're right.

I'll never give up, mainly because I believe what's happening is totally wrong.

Though I'd still like the tank of formaldehyde, to pickle tax payer funded 'community art'.

Amatuer?

People pay me to attend functions, such as funerals, gallery openings, first nights at the theatre, rock concerts, situation comedy audiences, etc.

I'm a professional hysteric, and am highly valued, by those who pay for my services.

No.

In the real world, away from state funding, I believe it's known as commerce.

Supply, and demand.

If there isn't any demand, and no wants to part with money, in exchange for what's being offered, supply ceases.

Quaint concept for some to get their head round, I know.

Do you really think so?

Perhaps you're right.

It does seem a little odd that all the other costs have (sort of) been made public, to allow people to decide the value of those community art project for themselves, and yet the cost to the public purse of the final phase is cloaked in mystery, only to be revealed after the Victorian Swimming Gala has taken place.

The longer the amount of funds to put on this art event remain a secret, the more people will speculate that perhaps the cost is so shocking, it wouldn't be wise to let people know the facts.

Though even if that is the case, and uproar is feared, it doesn't excuse the fact that the culture minister recently said that the costs of publicly funded art should be made transparent.

Odd then, on two accounts, as to why we aren't to be told.
