We should pay Effie double – she was quite simply FANTASTIC – particularly Effie’s line – “It’s not DOG eat DOG – it’s WOG eat WOG”! Everyone I’ve spoken to also thinks it was the best ever! It was a great night.

People are RAVING about it being the best one ever. Seriously raving. It’s great. Effie was a sensation and they’re raving about her too. And everyone has a hangover.

Guys and gals. What a great night! Feedback this morning has been outstanding... The best Ball ever, is the common view. Effie slayed ’em. As John Howard said, the Ball has become THE Canberra event to attend.
