Trivia
Actor and comedian Shaun Micallef was characteristically tongue in cheek when discussing his role. He said: "I based my character on Richard III, assuming he was played by an appalling actor who couldn't remember his lines." Micallef had been loved for his TV characters, but big screen comedy presented a challenge. "It certainly is more embarrassing if you get it wrong. In television a failed gag can be passed off as whimsy - or sweetened in audio to give the impression people actually laughed at it. No such trickery or fudging with film."

Crazy credits
No goats were injured during the making of this film, except for Aussie Carmen who developed a drinking problem.

few real laughs

A film that sets out to make fun of the politicians should be number one at the Australian box office but this really fails- it just isn't funny. The problem lies with the huge number of main characters. It has absolutely no focus and fails to generate the laughs.
