A-Flat Minor: The Beaconsfield Mine Disaster: A Musical
TO Australia where Beaconsfield: A Musical in A-Flat Minor will debut in Melbourne tomorrow night.
Miner Larry Knight was killed in a rockfall at the mine on Anzac Day 2006, while Brant Webb and Todd Russell were trapped for 14 days.
It’s terrific show, if a little slow in parts…
Mr Russell tells us:
“(I feel) disgusted, really, in the way they’re going about it and what they’re going to call it,” he said on ABC radio.
“When they’re calling it ‘A-flat Minor’ it’s appalling I think, just a lack of respect for the Knight family. It’s better off being left alone, people are trying to get along with lives, trying to move forward, and they just keep using this tragedy of ours.”
Everyone’s critic. What about the show?

Mullen says:
“Let us make it obligatory for homosexuals to have their backsides tattooed with the slogan SODOMY CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH and their chins with FELLATIO KILLS.”
Hurrah! A free tattoo for every gay man! Well, the church needs the support, and a free wafer, sip of wine and one up the arse from the priest may not be enough. Go on:
“In addition, the obscene ‘gay pride’ parades and carnivals should be banned for they give rise to passive corruption, comparable to passive smoking. Young people forced to witness these excrescences are corrupted by them.”
