More news on the Molls at MONA 

The Map of Tasmania ... Family Court cases set to music ... Pims for the Duchess ... His Excellency, the camera assistant 

The Sharon Molls: in the pitsA FEW more skerricks of information are seeping out about the spectacular performance by the Sharon Molls for the judges' dinner at Hobart's MONA.  

We broke the story here a couple of weeks ago. 

The show has been shrouded in a cone of silence, but bit-by-bit more details are emerging about the Molls' routine. 

Robert French CJ asked Diana Bryant CJ whether he should say a few words at the feast, but was told it wouldn't be necessary as there was to be "some singing". 

According to this version of the story, the top table comprised French, Bryant & Bathurst CJJJ, as well as CJs from Singapore and Honkers, plus assorted accompanying spice. 

The Molls' performance piece for the evening was the "History of the Family Court". 

Naturally, it involved  pelvic thrusting, but the startling thing is that the libretto involved musical renditions about current cases before the court, including that of a high profile Tasmanian. 

Who briefed the Molls on such sensitive matters? 

Untested issues arise for consideration.

Does singing about current cases to a bunch of judges amount to a breach of s.121 of the Family Law Act

Bryant CJ's email apologising for the regrettable "lapse" was sent at 1am.

No 1 Cup: Solicitor General's tipple for Camilla

TASWEGIAN solicitor general Leigh Sealy SC was having a quiet ale with a visiting celebrity from the Mother Country when his mobile phone rang. 

It was the protocol officer from the Department of Premier & Cabinet. 

Did the solicitor general still have that bottle of Pims? 

It had been opened at a Christmas shindig with departmental types in the sol-general's chambers last December. 

"Why yes, I think there's some left," Sealy replied. 

Excellent, could the solicitor general fetch it immediately and bring it to the state government reception for Charles & Camilla. 

The Duchess of Cornwall was desperate for a Pims No 1 Cup and none could be sourced in the Apple Isle, other than from Sealy SC's ample cocktail cabinet.

POLITICIANS were elbowing aside the Governor (Hollywood) Pete Underwood so that they could more prominently feature in photos with Prince Charles and his consort during their sweep through Tasmania. 

By all accounts it was a bit of a melee. 

One photographer had the temerity to rest his arm on His Excellency's shoulder in order to steady his camera. 

Apparently unaware that he was intruding on the vice-regal person the snapper was heard to say to Hollywood: 

"For christ sake mate, keep still, I'm trying to get some shots." 

HE was not amused.
