In 1822 the first show was held in Hobart. It is the most continuous event in post-colonial history. Queensland has 127 shows, 25 of which are in Flynn. The point I want to make is that the sideshow alley fraternity are very concerned about what's happening with public liability. There is no insurance company willing to take on the operators, so you can imagine what's going to happen at our rural shows, which are so popular in our communities: there will be no insurance.
