Description $290 million in bribes was paid to the regime of an evil dictator on the eve of war. Why? Government ministers and Australian Wheat Board executives all struggled to remember exactly what went on, but no one's too sure.
The 8,500 pages of transcript of the Cole Inquiry into the "wheat for weapons" scandal have been transformed into provocative and entertaining theatre.
