Further details

Tina performs for the State Opening of Parliament in the capital. There is some tension when she finds out seconds before the gig that Waltzing Matilda is not the national anthem. Inspired by the map room of the Parliament Building, Tina writes a song called Lake Disappointment, which takes in some of the more bizarre place names in Australia. She ends her trip by singing, with the protestors for land rights at the Aboriginal Embassy on the lawns of Parliament, a country flavoured version of Kate Bush's The Dreaming mixed up with Yothu Yindi's land rights anthem Treaty.
