Trivia The dance scene where Veronica dances with her family to "Everlasting Love" was added in on the spot by Cate Blanchett. See more »
Goofs During the epilogue, it is claimed that in an emergency Parliament session, the Government altered the Constitution. This is inaccurate for two reasons. Firstly, no such amendment of the Constitution occurred. Secondly, when an amendment is made, the Government alone does not have the authority to enact it: it may only propose such amendments to the people, in the form of a referendum. See more »
