Thousands of people flocked to the Perth CBD for the annual Telethon Family Festival, however it was not the free rides, food or entertainment that was a must-see attraction. It was everyone's favourite feline.
A packed RAC Arena erupted in applause when Marcia Hines took to the stage with a powerful rendition of Disco Inferno to kick off an incredible 26 hours of Telethon with a bang.
It is the beloved fundraiser that has long held a special place in the hearts of every West Australian but the PM says the generosity and caring spirit shown during Telethon is a ‘unique national phenomenon’.
