This issue's is turning into burlesque. Nevermind a Victorian Gala.

Czarina Von Teese, artfully let's the audience have a saucy little peep at the object of fascination, the costings.

First the funding of the first three events, were slowly exposed to the publics' hungry gaze.

Then it got a bit more interesting.

Whoo-hoo!

Which in this case was revealing the cost of the flash mob event. Wantonly uncovering it, before it had even happened.

Since the information's now been requested under the Freedom of Information Act, apparently, and thus busying some already overworked litle beaver at H.B.C., why can the public not be informed of the funding, and costs involved, of the Victorian Swimming Gala?

Why is this information, unlike the other events, only to be revealed after the final curtain falls?

This information is vital in helping people evaluate the worth to them, of publicly funded art.

At least that's transparent.
